[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 573872, member: 1514"] Yeah it is covered IF you have doctors who will document everything exactly the way they want it documented. I dont think mine are up to that. as far as topamax and the dose it needs to be at to cause weight loss....it does not need to be very high. I lost almost a 100 pounds at a very low dose. Well low compared to what Im on now I guess. Maybe my doses are relative. I take 600 mgs of topamax right now. I started out on topamax at 12.5 mgs and we upped it every two weeks from there and I stopped at 100 mgs for a very long time. I didnt increase my topamax for about 2 years and at that point I increased pretty fast all the way up to 1000 mgs. But in 03, I lost about 90 pounds in 10 months on an average of 50/100 mgs of topamax. Now I dont know what the mgs is for migraine usage but you do not have to be on 200 or 400 mgs to lose weight. The thing I have found out is that if you ever go off of topamax and then go back on it, the weight loss effect is no longer there. Or it wasnt for me. [/QUOTE]
