Hi all,
This is in response to Stresser's question about Tmax below. I've gained over 20 lbs in 2 months since going off Topamax cold turkey. I thought it was because I switched to Lamictal from Tmax, but it could very well be that I just quit taking Topamax one day instead of titrating down gradually. I wasn't aware of this (go figure, since I can't afford health insurance or a pdoc) until I saw the tremendous weight gain.

> Are you saying that when you quit the topamax cold turkey you gained weight vs. tapering off? My daughter quit two days ago cold turkey, and now I am wondering if she should go back on to a lower dosage and taper down.?-L
