I thought I would chime in on this post. I have taken both products together, without my PCP or psychiatrist knowing it. ( I don't recommend this action). Desperate to loose the weight, I was on both. Phentermine and Topamax are only meant to be used on a temporary basis--6 months. Phentermine contains caffeine and raises your blood pressure. Which probably explains you being jittery and then crashing. The best time to take this med is early morning so you can have control throughout the day and sleep at night. Also, you should watch your caffeine consumption.

Topamax can cause blindness, which is why doctors perscribe it in increments. They can and do work in weightloss. I have been on Phentermine for 6-8 months at a time, and while I loose weight I often it gain it back, and then some. I am on it now, but only using it as a jumpstart.

I hope this helps and I wish you well on your journey.

I've actually been on the Phentermine for a month and a half now and only planned on being on it another two weeks. I am doing rather well on it now. I do not crash on it anymore. I began taking half pills for a while until I got used to it. Now I hardly even notice whether I've taken it or not.

I am actually taking the Topamax not only for my migraines but also as a last resort to help me with my epilepsy and mania. I have had no luck finding an anti-seizure medicine that works for me. So far, I have had no side effects from the Topamax whatsoever but it doesn't seem to be helping the seizures either so I don't expect to be on it longer than another month.

I expect I will gain some of the weightloss back when I stop the pills but since I am exercising and eating right in addition to taking them I don't expect it to be significant.

Thanks for adding your experience!!

I haven't tried them,yet.sounds liken to form of speed. my heart won't take it.
my p-Dr says that I'm to never take an anti - deressant. because I will start to feel better & may reach point where I'm doing real good. but ( yep here's the but ) it will cause me to crash & I will be far worst off than if I had never been put on my/any p-medication.
What is the herb that is basically the same thing ?
regarding binge eatting at night. yep I raid the refg too.
I keep an open can of green peas in refg,and a can of pinto
beans. I will have 1/4 cup of peas n pea juice w 5 wheat crackers or 1/8 cup of beans in 1/3 cup of water n seasoned w pepper w 7 crackers crumber up in it. The beans make me feel full & keeps me feeling full for up to 3 to 4 hrs.
Currently I'm on bean dite & I'm still gaining weight.
A veg party tray w wheat crackers is excellent to kept at all times.
something quick & feeling.
I would give just about anything to lose 5 lbs.sigh.

Hi. My name is Megan Scott and I am a freelancer for FIRST for Women magazine. Would you be willing to share your experience on those drugs? I am getting rave reviews. Surely, there has to be another side.

Please feel free to email me at megankayscott@gmail.com

Thank you

Phentermine can be scary if you cant figure out the best dose for you. I have tried this drug numerous times over the years and have found that quartering the 37.5 , taking 1/4 in early morning then another 1/4 at lunchtime works for me. I dont feel spacy and racy. I feel energetic and very full. I have been prescribed the topamax as well but was told to take that at night as to reduce the bad side effects. I take my first dose tonight, wish me luck.

If you told your doctor you had already lost 30 lbs. on your own, why did he suggest medication? Was your cholesterol level extremely high? If not, would it be safer to continue losing the weight on your own? I tried weightloss drugs years ago, but I always gained everything back. Did your doctor mention a good lifestyle plan for you to keep the weight from coming back? Sounds like you were already doing a wonderful job. Did your doctor comment on this fact? Depending on your cholesterol level, perhaps the plan you're now on is much better. It would be best to discuss it with your doctor however. Good luck to you and keep us posted.

If you are bipolar, you need to be extremely careful of what you put into your body, especially anything that hops you up and suppresses your appetite. Many drugs could trigger mania, insomnia, paranoia. If you want to continue taking these, at least stay very closely monitored by a doctor.

Hi chitownangel. I haven't taken any as I am on a milk diet now I want to see how it will go. Later on if I want better result I would choose Phentermine as Topamax contains more ingrediets that block emotional system.

I love phentermine. I always abuse it tho. have a couple a day but then im not using Topamax at the same time.

Did I say I love phentermine. You lucky duck.

Give it a go for a week because all things have side effects. then youll know for sure. that's why its a trial
