I've been having a sore throat (could be a cold due to cold/rainy weather but perhaps more susceptible due to topamax?).
I am sure that more has been written about this kind of side effect....
For the past few weeks I have felt as if I have the flu...sore throats, general malaise, headache.
I have been on this drug for over a month, taking doses up, then down yada yada. It is doing nothing for my depression (perhaps making it worse), it has been a "tease" as an appetite supressant and now I wonder if it is making me feel physically crummy as well!Once and for all....
People mention appetite supression at 200mgs. Now I can stick there and deal with side effects IF this is going to help. So, in genral, 200mgs for how long before one realizes that this drug needs to go into the garbage?I am not just being vain here, btw: we are talking 100 lbs to lose. And I am in the middle of a MAJOR binge.
Let me sum up my convoluted post:
flu symptoms anyone?
200 mgs? for how long at 200 mgs? a week? 6 weeks?Thanks,
Diane
