Is it normal that i want to go back on topamax to lose weight?
Last year, I was put on Topamax to prevent me from getting migraines, which were very frequent at the time. It not only helped me with the migraines tremendously at the time, but it also helped me lose weight. I actually lost weight to the point where I was skinny, which I never was in my life. When I first started taking it, I weighed about 150 pounds. I took it for about 8 months and went down to 128 pounds, which I never weighed in my life.
However, I stopped taking it and went back up to 150 pounds in three months. I just noticed this recently and at first I couldn't believe it until I weighed myself using two different scales. I also tried on a pair of jeans and I could barely button them anymore. I was disappointed when the weight came back because I was hoping it wouldn't. I miss being that skinny.
I would do anything to get back to 128 pounds again, so I just want to pop those pills again. I know I should be dieting and exercising to get this weight off, but I've been in a cycle of gaining and losing weight for 6 years. Unfortunately, it's tiring to go through all that hunger and physical work to look good, only to gain all the weight back too easily.
I honestly think I looked awesome at 128 pounds, so I'm willing to go back on Topamax to get there. It was an awesome drug to take. It made me feel good and I love what it did to my body.
