I just started Topamax. I'm *terrified* by the range of SE's I've read about here, but I'm trying to stay positive and give it a good chance. I'm on it for Bipolar II in augmentation to Seroquel. I do hope to lose weight on it as well. Anyway, pertaining to the inability to exercise you mentioned: my heart went out to you in your dilemma (though I can't tell from the thread which one of you guys I'm talking to). I wanted to know if you read my not-too-long-ago post from the Social Board regarding weight loss challenges and a very pleasant solution I've found? I even met one man at the pool who has lost 170 pounds, down from 530lbs, by exercising in the water. Mind you, at first he needed help getting back out of the pool and he could really only kind of walk around in it, but it really worked for him. I hope you don't mind me butting in here. I was just spending the evening on Topamax research and wanted to share this with you...everyone...whoever. Please wish me luck and keep me in your thoughts, everyone. I am very nervous about starting the Topamax. Cheers.
