Worth a look I guess. I know of a nurse that has taken Topomax for years as an appetite suppressant.
I was a kid that could eat a dozen eggs and half a loaf of bread for breakfast when I was in he army. Never weighed more than 120lbs, got out of the service for a year and had a doctor talk me into having my tonsils removed, never skinny again.
Just a thought, no claim of association.
Healed up and went in the Navy to see the world.
I am however twice the man I was when I joined up weighing in at 107 lbs, true story.
I was on Topomax for 1 week. Anxiety problems. Not for appetite.
Long story short, I was a complete idiot on it. My brain moved so slow... couldn’t remember names or even common words. It was like my brain was full of sludge.
I went back to Doc and told him about my experience. He said it was quite common. Said many of his patients who used it called it “Dopamax”.
No thanks. I would rather be chubby than be an idiot.
But I appreciate the response.
There is another diet pill that also was approved at the same time as the topomax mix. Can’t remember the name... starts with a “B”.
My regular Doc said he had two patients who were involved in the trials and both loved it. One of them bought stock in the pharm company because he thinks he will make a bundle.
It hasn’t hit the pharmacies yet.. they are still trying to figure out what class of drug it will be.
Doc said it has way fewer side effects in the trials than the Qysimia.
Belviq is the name of the other prescription med just approved.
