If someone doesn't lose weight on topamax, will they gain after they quit taking it? Did you lost the weight you started to gain back when you started taking the topamax again, and at what dosage did you start back on again when you resumed after the three weeks? (if I follow correctly, and most of the time, I do not). I also can't remember if you lost any hair taking it. M, wasn't on 400mg any longer than one week, so we don't know if that dosage was going to make a difference in mood swings or her weight loss. She really didn't notice much of a weight loss at a lower dosage. I'm taking it for mood swings, and I really don't notice it affecting my appetite much either...but I take 175mg. That's not much, and I don't think I will be taking more than 200mg to top it out. It has really helped me with my mood elevations, not Dr. Jekel and Mr. Hyde these days. I'm not frieghtend of myself anymore, and my family can live with me! Nice to have you back on the board, even if you are using your left hand! Good luck with surgery on Thurs. -L
