Pardon my interrupting, but when it comes to weight gain/loss, I find its rarely considered rude.
I was on Effexor xr, and gained about 30 lbs really quickly, I was then put on Paxil, I didn't gain weight but didn't lose any either. My Pdoc
put me on topamax simply to counter the possible effect of the weight gain from the Paxil, because he knows how devasting it is (One of the few who takes it seriously)
I was at about 150 mgs, and the weight just dropped off. Which is incredible cause it made me so tired at first. I'm now at 200mg, and
Though I haven't weighed myself, I can wear clothes I couldn't wear 3 years ago. I've lost about 4 sizes in 3 months. I didn't even notice a significant appetite decrease, it must work on metabolic factors as well.
I just thought I'd let you know.Oh by the way I'm not prone to drastic weight loss. Even when I was put on dexedrine and thyroid meds I didn't drop weight like that.
