Hi! Since I started this thread, I thought I'd add my two cents again, finally. Thanks so much to everyone for the wonderfully helpful information.
As for my experiences in the interim, I have increased my Topamax to 100 mg taken all in the pm because I had a problem with sedation during the day if I took any in the am (I slept three to four hours every day). Like Bob and phillybob, I am having tingling in my hands, especially my fingers, and some soreness. The other effects, such as strange tastes in the mouth, motor problems, have stopped. I'm shooting for 200 mg a day right now. I take 40 mg of Celexa and Neurontin as needed. Am diagnosed as BPII.
Still seems to be helping me, though I do feel I need something more, so hopefully finding an optimum dose will do it.
If anyone finds any new info on the drug, I'm sure we'd all appreciate it. Thus far, it seems like all we know is that Kidney Stones can develop.
Adios!
