Hi Cairo,
>Now I'm planning to increase the time between 25mg doses.
I wouldn't recommend it, Topamax has a relatively short duration of action and needs to be taken regularly. You could try taking 15mg/day for a few days if you can get the sprinkle caps. Alternatively, you could take 25mg/day for a few more days and then stop completely.
>I definitely notice that my symptoms improve a little as the dose wears off, and kicks up again when I take another dose. I'll need to ask him what else he can give me to reduce this.
Perhaps you don't need any medication for this. You'll probably feel much better when you've stopped the Topamax completely :-)
>Do you really think having bicarb checked will help?
No. It would only be necessary if you were going to be taking Topamax on a long term basis.
>They all say Wellbutrin causes anxiety or doesn't do much for their Fibro patients.
As with all psych drugs, the only accurate way of finding out what effect Wellbutrin will have on you is by trying it!
Regards,
Ed.
