In reply to Are Lamical and Topamax a healthy med combo?, posted by Nero on March 7, 2005, at 4:24:07
> I was wondering if anyone is taking both Lamictal and Topamax at the same time? I'm currently on Lamictal and perhaps would like to try Topamax at night to sleep. I've gained so much weight by taking Seroquel for sleep and want to switch to Topamax at bedtime. Is the Lamictal-Topamax combo safe?
Safe if you don't mind losing some cognitive abilities. There are few people who don't become topo-stupid. HOWEVER, maybe at a low dose of 25 mg you would be okay and it would be enough to help you lose the weight and it would also stabilise your mood.I think I titrated the med too quickly (I was following doctor's orders) and then all hell broke loose and I became psychotic. On a low dose I suffered from bad, bad acne. Yuck.
You will only know if you try.
