I had stopped taking it because at 250mg it started making me apathetic. My Dr was not happy about me stopping all the meds but I couldn't help it really because my insurance had been cut off. NOW I finally have it reinstated( That was SOOOO not worth the irritation!) and I am going back on only 50mg. When I went off I suddenly got REALLY hungry and I have been fighting it. I have only gained back like 7lbs but that is 7lbs too much! I lost 35 but it was really because of the Atkins diet I was on and the fact that it did help my appetite. I didn't lose any weight BECAUSE of the Topomax. But I am now back on it, starting SLOWLY, of course and hopefully it will help my weight come off again.
