What dosage of Topamax causes weightloss? – Weight Loss …

I am a RN and let's just start by saying you would probably never take Tylenol or any pain reliever if you read the label.All medication has the potential for side effects.Medication, if you choose to go that route, is there to relieve your symptoms, and sometimes cure disease.There are many good drugs out there.And Kudos to you for doing your homework.If you suffer from migraine, I hear Topamax is a great product for relief.It does not come without side-effects, but keep in mind, most medications have them.Know your body, talk to your doctor, and follow ALL of his/her directions to the letter.Topamax is prescribed off label for Binge Eating Disorder.This helps control the number of times per day a binge eater "binges" and also helps with weight loss.Keep in mind, not all binge eaters are over weight or obese however.BED is a psychiatric disorder, much like bulimia and anorexia, except there is no purging or laxative use.If you think you may have an eating disorder, please, please, please see your provider or someone who specializes in eating disorders.So no judgement on the use of medication for weight loss.Sometimes people need help to get the weight off and relieve their hips and other joints.The dosage of Topamax for weight loss is much lower (25 mg x2 per day I do believe), and should only be used for a short period of time.Pills are not a magic bullet for weight loss.Some of us have brain chemistry issues contributing to our weight, and may need pharmacological help, but we also need healthy nutrition, exercise, and maybe even counseling.We have to fix our mind and understand why we over eat.We can't control our genes per se, but we can control our environment.My point is, don't be afraid of medication for whatever it is you are afflicted by.We don't have to suffer.Whether it's depression, migraines, obesity, restless legs, etc.But do your homework.Know your body.Pay attention.Listen to your doctor.Understand their may be repercussions (what percentage of patient in studies actually lost hair, did it come back when discontinuing the medication, and are you willing to lose hair if it happens to you to achieve your goal...no more migraines, lose weight, etc.?).Topamax has been on the market a long time.It's a safe product.You have to do your home work and follow directions.
