300 is usually the max dose. I think 400SR is the utmost max.
That's just too weird. what else are you on?
It could be making you hypomanic which may fuel your food addiction. By no means does this drug make people any hungrier. That's just not the normal pattern of events, but like I said, you could be over activated in a pleasure seeking type way.
Topamax is helpful, but it makes people stupid I heard.
Otherwise, the standard drugs are well-known to all. I found provigil curbed my appetite at first. wellbutrin did too, but that went away.
I take wellbutrin 300 now.
