I have only ever talked to one person that started at 100mg, and they did have some side effects. Most people ususally start at 15 or 25 mg. and work their way up very slowly. Very slowly. Topa's s/es can actually not be bad if you go slow. Yes, you can cut them, but why don't you just have your doc redo your script for 15 or 25 mg. That way, when you do increase your dosage, it will be easy for you to adjust your med.
> Hi, I've had a prescription for 100mg of Topa for over a month and I'm too scared to take it. 100 mg seems like a lot to start with. Does anyone know if I can cut it in half? I'm taking it for weight gain from Prozac. Thanks -- Nervz
