> Karen, I am really interested in hearing about the dose of Topamax which you found to be effective for appetite control. How long did it take you to reach that dose? Did your doctor prescribe it for weight loss or for something else?
>**My doctor prescribed it for anxiety and as a mood stabilizer and to lose weight. I found some benefits at 150mg and 200mg but it really kicked in at 250mg. It took me a lonnnnggg time to get there. I started at 25mg last October.

> Elizabeth, I do eat breakfast and take melatonin. I give insulin to my cat and he is as well-regulated as cats can be as far as the diabetes goes. But he is old and has kidney disease. I have to give him subcutaneous fluids every other day with a big needle, and that is very stressful to both of us because it hurts him.

> I was told by a relative who works at a residential psychiatric facility that Topamax didn't work for the fat girls in treatment there. I guess it does work for some people like Karen, though, so I am going to try it.
