I'm thinking the only reason why Topamax would help with minor mood swings and/or minor depression is because of the effects it has on the GABA system...much like a Benzo may help with stress related depression and/or moodiness...just a thought.

I found this site using a search engine. There seems to be quite a little info about Topamax's anti-depressant effects. I'm curious to know why you say it doesn't have anti-depressant properties.

I'm not yet sure how do directly read the posts here, so I'd be grateful if you also email your response and tell me the reading procedure.

My internist (specialty nutrition including weight control) wants me to take it. I am waiting for my psychopharmacologist (neuropsychiatrist) to return my call about it.

TIA
