> Does anyone take these 2 together for bipolar?.. Or do the 2 drugs work against each other? I dont know what happen last night, but I just was not my self

Sherry G.

I have taken both of them (but not as the same time). When you are saying you "was not your self" you are saying that you were having problems with thinking-behaving right? Depakote is fairly sedative and so is Topamax. You may have started off with too high of a dose. They recommend starting Topamax (i.e.) at 25-50mg/day and increasing it no faster than 25-50mg/day (for epilepsy). I find it strange also that you were started off on two meds instead of just one at first. (of course-unless you were already on one of these before the other was added).
