I am also experiencing hair loss and have been on Topamax about 2...

Hey I am really frustrated right now. I have been taking topamax along with 50mg of lamictal and .25mg twice a day of clonazepam for my bipolar disorder. My doctor is going to titrate me down off of my lamictal and see if I can just only take the topamax. He originally put me on topamax to try and counteract the weight gain effects I got from the lamictal. I need to lose about 15lbs to be comfortable. I am now taking 200mgs of topamax per day and have been on it since dec. 28. I have only lost 4lbs and I can't even contribute that to topamax b/c I completely gave up drinking sodas altogether b/c the taste was so awful so I contribute that weight loss to the sodas. I lost those four lbs almost immediately and haven't lost any since then. I just stopped. So, he is taking me off of the lamictal to see if I can just tolerate the topamax alone. He wants to see if that will help with weight loss and maintain my mood at the same time. I am just frustrated, like you. I want to maintain my mood at the same time I do not want to gain weight due to all of these stupid medications, which will just make me depressed b/c I will gain weight no matter how little I eat or how well I try and eat.
