topomax update...

Well here's the latest...
After my pdoc appointment on the 9th where we decided to stop the Zonegran and not add anything else I was just not feeling good at all after about three days. I was having some food issues and feeling pretty depressed.
I talked to my pdoc on Thursday and we decided it wouldn't hurt to try the Topamax again.
It's been at least two years since I was on it the first time.
So I started on 25mg last night.
When I got up this morning I had a small headache but took some Motrin and it went away.
I will be on 25mgs until my next pdoc appointment on March 9th so this is three weeks so I plan to go slow with it this time and maybe my hair will not fall out !
Can anyone tell me if Topamax works as well as it did the first time when you go back to it after a long time off the drug ? I hope so, I sure want the weight loss effect again. Other meds have put on a few lbs over the past year and I want them gone. But I'm taking the Topamax for bipolar AND weight, not just weight.

Have a good day everyone and I'll keep you posted on how's it going... :-)
