Oh my!!! I have missed you!
How great to see your post! What were you doing for your BPII, if you weren't taking any medications?My daughter and I never did lose any weight on the topomax. It has worked at leveling out our moods, but M takes Trileptal with hers as well.
Can you feel a difference at 50mg yet? Starting back over is a bear, I know that. My daughter had to do it in Jan., because she tried another medication. Titrating up again is long journey, especially when you know where you are going. It must be done. I think the seven pounds will come off, because a similiar thing happend to Kat, and she lost her re-gained weight again. She had to go off Topomax for something last winter.
M's hair is still falling out at a slow pace, but she is taking 300mg. When she lowered her dosage to 200mg, it slowed down a bit, but her moods were wacky. I am wondering if the doctor increased her Trileptal and lowered her Topomax, maybe her hair would stop coming out completely? It used to be really thick, and now it's just normal hair, like my hair.
I will let you know what happens after the doctor's appt. tomorrow! -L
