Re: Topamax: Weight loss/Cognitive Chgs

I regret that I don't have anything positive to say about Topamax--but everyone is different so this is just to say this is what I experienced:
I went up from 25mg to 200mg. over several weeks... although weight loss was one of my primary reason for trying Topamax, I didn't lose any weight over the 12-15 weeks I took it (and I have at least 30 lbs or more to lose; most of it gained on Remeron....).

The worst part, for me, was my inability to think properly...I "lost" words, couldn't maintain a train of thought, etc., etc. I found this side-effect to be so disturbing that--even if I had lost weight, which I hadn't--I would have stopped this drug.

As I said, though, everyone is different and I certainly hope others have a more positive experience than I did. For those of you who went through what I did--you're not crazy!
