[QUOTE="change, post: 143675, member: 4808"] Oh Nomad!!! I'm so sorry to hear about this and a little alarmed too because I take Topamax. I have gotten off it though for months in a row and not gained weight. I did lose weight when I first began it yeats ago though but that was at a higher dosage than I am on now. Then my neurologist became alarmed and reduced my dosage and I gained some back. I've been more or less the same weight since not counting times of stress. (I tend to lose weight when I'm in crisis.) I don't know what to tell you about the Topamax. I do work out quite a bit. (I don't know how much compared to you.) I run 2 miles a few times a week and I also sometimes attend 45 minute classes called things like "butts & gutts" and "chiseled" so you can imagine. They involve cardio plus weights. I also do a little light weights on my own on some days that I run, depends if I run at the gym or outside. Best advise I can give is to eat small meals throughout the day instead of any big ones and not to drink much cafffeine. I also eat pretty healthy. I love chocolate and candy and those are my weaknesses but I stay away from fast food. I also don't eat chips much. I satisfy that craving with nuts and things like healthy crackers. I admit, I do eat very light lunches but I never skip breakfast. I hope some of this helps you. Again, the best advise I can give is to exercise vigorously. When I run, I RUN (not really jogging). Good luck and I'm so sorry Topamax has done this to you. I'm worried now...it helps my headaches so much too. I tried to get off it for several months and I was miserable. I wanted to get pregnant. Apparently, you shouldn't take it if you're pregnant. I'm back on it. 100mg. a day for me. I just can't stand the headaches. I get them daily as it is. hugs...xoxoxoxoxo [/QUOTE]
