> Ironically I have read that the topamax does cause a depresssion in some people, maybe you need to talk to your dr. and adjust you anti-depressants (Lex). I am on Topamax for weight and binge eating. If you don't mind me asking what other meds were you on for you mild OCD, I think I keep getting treated for depression when I really just have some OCD tendencies. Thanks and good luck to you, hopefully your rough spells will pass soon!
The Topamax is what I'm on for the mild OCD, as well as for weight and binge eating. I never thought about it being the cause of the depression though. I just figured it was because I was coming off Prozac (what I was on, but which had become too agitating) and maybe the Lexapro hasn't started working yet. But everything I read says Prozac takes at least two months to get out of your system, so you may be on to something about the Topamax causing the depression. I'll talk to my doctor about it. Thanks for the heads up!
