> > I am now on 300mg a day of topomax. My doc has been uping the prescription at 50mg about every 10 days. As the time as gone on I have notice consideraberably less cognitive dulling. At first I was at the reading level or at least felt like I was at the reading level of a twelve year old. I am thirthy six. It has helped stabilized my moods and the side efects have decreased over time. I am also taking klonopin. I am bipolar and have a generalized anxiety disorder. I hope this helps. Good Luck. Ellen
i am new to the whole ballgame of bipolar plus all of the medications involved...in the last year and and a half...i have been on a roller coaster of pills and doctors and side effects. I seem to not know what is wrong with me. The only thing they all agree on is ...i am bipolar..hard thing to find out at the late age...i was just kooky until now....i have been on lithium until three weeks ago among other things...and talk about extra weight...want some? 75 lbs in 14 months and now this incredible edema...i can barely walk...and i have 4 doctors telling me 4 different things...HELP!
