I lost a lot of weight I did look awfully thin and didn’t want to eat much I am getting myself to eat more and not feeling as low and anxious as I was now which is good. I am now 9st/126lb which I don’t think is too bad I used to only weigh 7st/98lb and I weighed 12/126lb originally so people around me were really worried and that made me more depressed because I couldn’t eat but thankfully I can a bit more now. I hope you’re doing ok with it if you did start it.

on topiramate, i find it really hard to put weight on, even had to have gross protein shakes at one point cos I went down to 6 stone- my 'Christmas weight' is a 7 stone 8 pounds right now. I'll lose the 8 pounds easy by march. I don't exercise. ( I'm 5"3)
