Please describe "stupid" for me. I think I've got it and my doctor wants me to go off Topamax, but it's keeping me on the wagon and minimizing the desire to binge. I have either major depressive disorder or bipolar II. I'm beginning to doubt the latter dx since my periods of hypomania are mostly just exaggerated irritability. No inflated self esteem or racing thoughts (unless you count obsessive thinking) or reckless spending or sex or, since starting Serzone three weeks ago, early morning waking. I'm also on 50 mgs Lamictal and 300 buproprion. I've kept myself at 200 Topmax and decreased Lamictal since I suspect the latter is responsible for hair loss. Neither have done much to regulate mood. When you guys mess with your meds, how do your doctors respond? How do you tell them I want to do this and don't want to do that? I've only known my doctor for two months.
