Great description!.....you forgot Topamax though..lol
I know it hasn't got the 'best' reputation but I can definately speak good words of Topamax...as for feeling stupid on it, as that seems to be the worst complaint - I can actually think clearer. I can honestly say I've had far, far worse side effects on carbamazepine, valproate, lithium and lamotrigine.
Only one I say for myself that ranks well with topamax is trileptal in terms of effectiveness and side effects.
I guess its the same old story though that truely everyone reacts so differently to different medication even though there is still a general side effect profile.
Kind regards
Nick
