> Hi,

> Starting in Feb when the Topamax went to 100mg, I started getting irregular periods. I have been to the ob/gyn but since I went off the Topamax my periods are normal. The ob/gyn said I don't have PCOS. The psychiatrist did a free T4, Cbc, tsh and all were normal. Maybe I should go to an endocrinologist. I was on birth control before for a long time and nothing happened. Topamax can cause PCOS and so can lithium after a long time.
If it's definitely not PCOS, I'd expect it to resolve over time. I've never heard of either Topomax or lithium associated with PCOS (valproate clearly is), but you could be dealing with an interaction of some kind, too.
