Hi I posted on the 12th and I have some questions about my meds.
I am on now...
Effexor XR (375mg/day) - Started about 2½ years
Seroquel (100mg/day) - Started about 1 year ago
(what is this even for)
Topamax (125mg/day) - Started about 3 months ago
Neurontin (400mg/day) - Started about 6 months
(I was on a higher dose & I asked to be weaned off of it because I *think* it is causing me the weight gain,but I dont know??????????) Now I am tapering off of it I am having Panic attacks, Anxiety, Nightmares,wanting to cut my hair becuase I am overweight becuase of the dumb medicine) -Has Anyone been on Both Neurontin & Topomax & expierenced a weight gain of 80+ pounds in less than 9 months? (I do NOT even eat 1/2 of what I used to eat,so I am NOT binge eating)
I am starting to flip out over This!!
I am a mother with 5 little children and I have to feel better and get back on track, please help me. ANY INFORMATION would be so helpful...
