Topamax and weight gain with SSRI's?

Posted by Lynne on June 17, 2001, at 1:24:30

Does anyone think that by adding Topamax to Prozac or Paxil it will help control the weight gain? Does Topamax just make you not think of food all the time?
Maybe it could be used as a sleep aid too?

Thanks in Advance,
Lynne

Lynne,Topomax is my primary med (along with a small dose of Neurotin at night); since I have taken Topomax, I no longer overeat...I also rarely drink alcohol, even in social situations, which I used to enjoy doing. I find these all to be good side effects. Topomax has not been sedating for me, so I do not consider it a sleep aid..I know others have found it to be the case..it may depend on the dose.
