Wow. I have a lot of work ahead of me. I am a little overwhelmed at the possible meds out there!
My pdoc all these years has not exposed me to these drugs, only the AD's and stims. He just asked me 3 months ago about Topamax. I am going to change pdocs anyway due to the fact that he let me be too depressed for way too long!I really do appreciate your very wise input. Thanks so much for the help.
