Sorry to hear you have to stop the drug. I also got a rash (smooth red area) and stopped it. I was very disappointed because it was having an antidepressant effect and I thought it was my ticket out of misery. I have just started trileptal and am keeping my fingers crossed. I would be interested to hear if topomax or trileptal have antidepressant effect for you. Good luck.
