Sean,
The side-effects you describe sound like Topa, all right. The appetite thing is really weird. When I first started taking Topa I actually got much hungrier for the first couple of weeks, then less as I titrated.Sean, you really shouldn't just let yourself run out of pills and stop taking your meds cold-turkey. I know it's hard to motivate when you're depressed, but you really need to make a phonecall and see what you can do to get enough meds to last until your next visit. After paying your dues with side effects while ramping up, you might as well stick with this until you get some benefit, or at least find out if benefits are on their way.
Hope it works out well. Keep posting.
