Okay, I gave the Topomax a two week trial. I'm offically done. It was recommended to me by my pdoc in conjuction with my ad effexor to help offset the weight gain I continue to have while on this very effective ssri. The first week I could barely get through the day due to drowsiness, so I drank extra coffee. I became nauseated off and on and the only thing that helped was a bland snack. It was like having morning sickness! The nausea did subside, however the drowsiness did not. The second week on a higher dosage, I began to forget my student's names (I'm a teacher) and started to have intense headaches. By the end of the second week, I had not had any reduction in appetite. In fact, I had gained another 2 pounds! Oh my gosh. So yesterday, I stopped the Topomax. This morning I feel alive again. I won't have to drink a pot of coffee to wake up. What will I try next? Maybe Wellbutrin?? Any thoughts-
