[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 641117, member: 1963"] I wouldn't recommend Topomax to ANYONE who is already stable on a mood stabilizer. It isn't really a front-line stabilizer. It was a desperation move for me as we'd pretty much tried everything else and I can't take Lithium right now because I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and am currently not yet stable on thyroid replacement therapy. For me, the appetite suppression is more of a PITA. I'm already dealing with it from the Metformin I take for the diabetes. I have trouble eating right and it's not healthy. You had success with Weight Watchers. You were losing weight at a good, slow, HEALTHY rate on it. Why not go back on that? From what I understand, there's a new program on WW that doesn't require counting actual calories. Maybe that would work for you. You do not have enough weight to lose to be a candidate for bariatric surgery. I know that much. Best of luck, toK [/QUOTE]
