> Hi, I have been on several anti-depressants with severe weight gain. My therapist has suggested I speak with my Dr. about Topomax to counter-act the weight gain. I mean I have never been over 130 lbs. in my life (I am 44 and 5'4") I am now 200 lbs plus. I started the anti-depressants after my oldest child drown and a divorce quickly folowed. The weight gain has me severely depressed. Any one has a comment?
Hi - I have been on topomax for three months after putting some weight on after being on lexapro for depression since my brother died on 9/11. I am up to 200 mgs. now - i did start slowly 25 mgs , 50 mgs, etc. I've had a few side effects - but nothing terrible that hasnt gone away - but i really havent seen much of a weight loss yet. In the beginning i noticed my appetite diminish a bit but now when I am depressed I can still eat a lot. I dont know if I should maybe have the dr. increase the med. - he seems pretty cool in doing so - i am just afraid with some of the horror stories I hear of the hair loss and all - i could use some advice, too. haley
