Q: Anxiety , Weight Loss And Topamax

Hi

I have just been put on topamax after many years of gaining weight because of ssri's. But I have a lot of questions that my doctor didn't know about.

First of all: How will the topamax affect my anxiety? I hear both positive and negative stories.

And to all of you who have lost weight with topamax how long did it take for you to start to loose weight? When did you first notice a change? and how high a dosage is needed?

Topomax
I took topomax for a couple years and my pain doctor recently told me that unless you are on 200MG per day you will not see the weight loss. Be careful with this drug though. You CANNOT just stop taking it, you have to be weaned off. You will get WICKED sick, believe me. I did it. I went to several doctors and they all had a different opinion about my dosage and I never saw any good from it. This new doctor told me that unless I take 200mg a day, I wont see results. Just be aware of what you are taking. Look it up and educate yourself. :O)

Herbal Pills on Anxiety and weight loss
Hi All there,

As all of you people are discussing about effects and side effects of Topamax then I advice why don't you go for herbal pills and give it a try.

Herbal pills are very effective as they are made up of herbal ingredients and the same reason makes them very safe as well. They don't have any side effects and you will see positive results definately.

After all our body is a pert of this nature so why to treat it with some artificial pills. Lets go back to the nature and achieve the betterment of our life.

Cheers g2r
