Topamax, IMHO, should be the next anti-convulsant mood stabilizer approved for acute mania and bipolar disorder. Depakote was the only other AC that really had a good set of "brakes" to it. I tried up to 25mg/twice a day. I had trouble with cognitive stuff, too, but my job demands a high attention to technical detail and it would just blank me out-couldn't tolerate it. But, if I had a less demanding job it would probably be ok. I didn't mind it outside of work.
