I hope someone may have a take on this? I currently take 200mg of Topamax and 75mg of Effexor (2 weeks now) a day. Yesterday I took them as scheduled and I felt quite depressed. I was just pondering a few things, and got a little depressed. But, today, I didn't take the Effexor and nothing happened, I didn't get depressed. I still pondered the same things, but my attitude was the same. It was weird and I can't explain it. My point, I have questioned using an AD with a MS many times and am still a little confused as to whether it is really necessary to do so. Has anyone had any experience with taking these two meds together? Or any experience taking a mood stabilizer and an anti-depressant together? Has it worked? Is it unecessary? What is anyone's experience? Good or bad? Or a similar experience? I am bipolar and I need very little meds to get reasonable success. I just wanted to throw this out there. Any response would surely be appreciated very much.
Thank youGal
