Medication too High?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has had their medication adjusted after losing weight. I suspect that the concentrations of my medication may be higher due to the fact I have lost 40 pounds. Thanks.

This is a possibility. I was tapering off Dilantin while increasing Topamax and I just didn't feel right. I had lost around 40 lbs as well and it turned out my Dilantin level was a bit high. If you feel strange have your level checked.
