> Hmmm.. interesting theory! :) I originally wanted to try Topamax because I read it may help dump some extra weight and Lithium as well as depression caused me to gain a few pounds so I figured I would try Topamax and see if it worked. And I lost some weight in the meantime. And it stabilized my mood! It's like two drugs in one! PERFECTO!!!!
I had never heard of it. I hadn't even heard of it when it was prescribed for me... the neuro simply said that he was prescribing an alternate anti-seizure med that was known to deal with migraines and as an aside said it had one serious side effect.. it hadn't occurred to me that the migraine bit was a side effect (dumb or what?)... it caused weight loss...when he handed me the schedule I saw the name...
now to see if it stabilizes MY mood
