I used to take it. But I quit it. Now I’m gaining weight more than ever but some of that is my breasts getting bigger and I suspect it’s prolactin
I might cut my portion sizes down…
It made me really foggy. Now that I’m no longer on it my head feels more clear.
I’ve been taking Topomax for migraine headaches and weight loss for years and years and it really helps with neither. I still get daily headaches and still struggle with my weight, although I never go above a certain point.
I haven’t experienced the fogginess, but I understand the weight gain!
Oh no! Have you considered trying something else?
@FlyingPurplePeopleMeeter, I alternate the meds, Imitrex and Excedrin Migraine, for my headaches and they work pretty good. There is nothing else to take for weight gain.
Far from ideal. There are probably some people using it for that purpose, but it is far from a desirable practice. In fact, most weight loss specialists don’t recommend Topamax as a medication for weight loss alone. Most typically it is used in combination with a stimulant like phentermine. In fact, there is a medication for weight loss known as Qsymia that is available as a combination of the two in one pill.
