I guess I have noticed a decrease in my appetite since starting Topamax. But again, I'm not sure if it is because I am not on Lithium or solely from Topamax alone. It is hard to tell. But, typically I eat one meal a day, and it isn't until between 6-8 pm. Usually I can't tolerate food before noon anyway (even when I was on Lithium), but I don't snack or overeat anymore. I did notice that when I started (esp. 300) I couldn't finish restaraunt portions. Not even half of them. And, I'm almost never hungry. The only way I know to eat is when my stomach begins growling. That's not always pleasant, but I'll take that any day compared to being overweight!
I'm not purposely trying to be vague :) I just don't have a very good memory! But, feel free to ask any questions and I'll try my hardest to answer with the best of my ability. Oh, and my poor memory has NOTHING to do with Topamax. It has everything to do with other factors... PROMISE :)
