Hi Karen. Thanks for asking. I finally went into the hospital, I was feeling so badly, and they could up the topomax up much faster there. Now I'm up to 125mg and they want me to up it by 25mg every other day til, I can't remember, either 200 or 400. I am a zoombie, I am so tired. They say that will go away, but I don't know if its true. It did go away with lamictal. I need to start working but don't know how I'm going to do it. If it's too hard at home, I'll go back to the hospital. But I wanted to try to come home.

It's a very comfortable place for me. This is the fourth time in ten years that I've been there for a short time. There were only about 8 - 12 patients, you see your pdoc every day and your therapist 3 times a week and have group therapy every day. Then there are a lot of stupid groups also, which I tried to get through--educational groups, art therapy, journaling etc. But mostly it is nice because the staff is so respectful toward the patients. It's a center for people who have been abused.

Anyway, hope the medication is still holding up for you too. I was one mile from where Dr. Bob and crew met, but I was supposed to be out of town visiting my parents, then I was in the hospital until yesterday. shellie
