My p-doc prescribes Topamax for me at a low dose (at the moment, 75mg/day ) as a mood stabilizer for my bipolar2. When I am hypomanic, as happens several times a year following what I've been tricked into thinking is a Good Mood, I become really irritable, angry, and tend to think I can do just about anything better than anyone, especially anyone I am currently working for. Which is partly why I am not working LOL. You can only tell your boss he/she is a flaming idiot once in a career, particularly if you are working an entry level position...
It's mainly prescribed at much higher doses (400mg/day) as an anticonvulsant, and recently has been approved in the UK as a treatment for migraine. (Works for me in this manner as well - yahoo!)
