> Hi! I'm one of the folks who has had success with Topamax.

Hi
I am so glad to hear that there are some folks who have stayed on this med long term. It's my impression that people can't tolerate the side effects over time.
I have finally gotten off Trileptal, and I am anxious to give Top. a try now. I have been in a nasty, hostile mood for days and don't feel able to cope with things at the moment.
However, I don't want to put too much stock in any med. I am often blasted by side effects, and just pray Top is helpful and tolerable for me. I just will have to take it slow and see I guess. Anything is better than this awful funk I am in now. And I was really hoping I could cope without a mood stabilizer....

Kingfish, Do you have any skin problems on Top? That is my biggest problem with Trileptal. My skin burns and scalp has been so sore and dry for months. I also have been intolerant to the sun. Can I look forward to these things on Top too?
Also, how long have you taken it and what dose if you don't mind me asking. I am so glad it continues to help with your thought patterns.
Thanks,
Chloe
