Thank you all for the information. I am so glad to hear it has little or no effect on weight. Sunnely - I, also, am taking neurontin with this. I think my pdoc and I have finally hit a winner! and so far, I have not experienced any of the side effects. Again, thank you all for the info. It has been my experience that I can get better info here than anywhere else.
When I was in the hospital, I was still trying to find a mood stabilizer. I had asked the doc there if I could try Topomax. (I had seen it mentioned here quite often.) When time came to deliver the med, one of the nurses asked if I had seizures. When I said no, he almost refused to give me the med. He had looked it up in one of his books and it was only listed as a seizure med. He wondered why the doctor had prescribed it. When I told him I had requested it as a possible mood stablizer, he was baffeled as to where I got my info. I told him to toss his books and check out Dr. Bob's site! He said he would. Anyway, turns out that Topomax and I did not get along, but I have learned so much from this site. I have been tuning in here off and on for a few years. Thank you Dr. Bob for keeping it going. It just keeps getting better.
