You're very welcome. Topamax didn't cause weight gain for me, in fact many people lose weight on it:-) But it is an AED used for bipolar among other things, it sounds if you were on Effexor you suffer from depression? I am now on Lexapro, and it works well, I have gained a little bit of weight. The only other AD I didn't gain any, if little weight on was Celexa (20mg)
I hear you, I have gained a lot of weight on and off these psych meds, it seems to be a common thing. I hope you will be ok. Talk to your doctor about the weight gain issue and maybe he/she can talk to you about alternatives.
Hang in there, I know it's hard, but you will be ok, I have faith in you.
Take care,
Kristen> Thanks. That's just about how it seems a couple of pounds here and there but consequently they have added up too much weight. I am thinking of coming off for a while just don't know what else to try at this point.
