[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 284603, member: 1514"] Well Starbie barbie.... You may be feeling peppier soon. I will have you know that one of my first mood combo's was Wellbutrin and Topamax! I did quite well on it for a few years too. Then I hit a bad patch when I got stuck on some steripred pack and it sent me into a tailspin and they had to put me on lamictal and they weaned me off the wellbutrin. Oddly enough, I never lost the urge to smoke with the wellbutrin...lol. But eating on the combo of wellbutrin and topamax was something else. It is great diet aid...lol. You were on 500 mgs of topamax before? Why? Headaches? That is a boatload for migraines. I am on 600 now but have been up to 1000 at one point and I think I am probably gonna go back up in the near future. Make darned good and sure you start very slowly with the topamax. Just because you have taken it before doesnt mean you can jump on in there. Start at 25mg and work up every two weeks. I know Im not your doctor but listen to me! I know a ton about this medication and I have avoided more of the side effects that send folks running to the hills. If you go up slowly you will know when you hit your target dose AND you wont get nasty side effects! Please trust me here. I have been on this medication since 01. [/QUOTE]
