tdaneen,
I'm on the birthcontrol pill for wild wild PMS and it works perfectly. But I've just started Topamax this month, and I gained 10 lbs (which I thought was due to quitting dexedrine and quitting running due to a knee injury) BUT as soon as my period started I stopped eating, okay stuffing my face with carbohydrates, and quickly dropped the 10 lbs.I just asked my psychiatrist if the Topamax could make the birthcontrol pills ineffective? He said yes, as in not effective for birthcontrol, but we ran out of time for PMS symptoms. darn!
Jees…I don't want to deal with the PMS again. I will keep you informed if you are still on PB in the future.
other than this, if this is so, Topamax has been great , Janice
