Hello Cam:
I'm a long-time lurker, and this is only my 2nd or 3rd time to post. I've learned so much from the participants on this board and am very grateful to all :)
My questions are:
1. HOW does Topamax cause weight loss? Is it from a drug-induced anorexia from the taste perversion that some people experience while taking it? Or is there another mechanism - and if so, the details?
2. At what total daily dosage is weight loss seen while taking Topamax?
3. Does the total daily dosage have to be divided? For instance, if I am taking less than 100mg daily, could I take that as a single dose at night? Would that diminish the weight loss effect?
Thanking you in advance for your help,
Sandi*
