Weight Loss and Topamax, will this continue??

by Stratusphr, May 09, 2007 12:00AM
I have few side effects.  Memory was a problem before, I don't see a lot of difference now.  Searching for a word is a problem some times these days.  I still eat, but much less, which is wonderful.  I think total loss since March 5th is 8 lbs. I get hungry but get full much sooner and don't want/need a snack in the evening or mid-afternoon.  No cravings and some things don't taste 'wonderful'.  I.E. a Hershey bar tastes like chocolate, but just doesn't taste GREAT, just 'OK'. Nothing special.  I love this side effect.  

My question is this, how long will it last?  Will the weight loss continue?  Will the loss of appetite continue?

Oh, by-the-way, my migraines are much, much better, which is the best as far as results!!!!!  I am down from taking 9 - 13 Imitrex per month to taking 5 last month.  My doctor's goal is zero, we'll see.  I'm at 100mg of Topamax now, (I started at 25mg) I'm not sure how high she will want to take me.  The weight loss is just icing on the cake I guess!!!
