I believe you are intimating that I am not to be considered seriously because I "could be short of the full understnding of the drug" Using the term "could be" doesn't immunize you from incivility for your using the words that follow. I feel accused and put-down.

As I understand the grammatical structure of the statement, it is offering Topomax as something that the mother could have the child take which in my understanding of the word {promotion}, could include as that as being advocated. If there is another post about Topomax, I am not referring to that post, for the poster that I replied to posted the statement that is in the link to the post that I have posted the link to here.

> In my defense of mysef here, notice in the link here in question that Topomax is referred to as a {tool}. So it could be {one more} tool.
> The grammatical structure leads me to believe in regards to the accepted definition of these words that there is a promotion here for the drug Topomax to be included in the drugs that the mother is giving the child via the psychiatrist/doctor that is the prescriber of the drugs. Now I know that the maker of Topomax has run into legal trouble when Topomax is used for psychiatric disorders when it is an ant-seizure drug. (off-lable use}. A lot of the information that I get concerning these drugs comes from transcripts of the cross-examination of defendants in trials concerning these drugs in the last 20 years or so.
> LouFriends,
Now Scott writes that he has seen Topomax do wonders for a condition. Now there then is a testamonial for that Topomax could do wonders for others, which is a type of promotional technique used in marketing to promote what is wanted for prople to buy.
But I say to you, that I have seen many ruined lives of people that took Topomax. One is a friend of mine, a lovely woman, whose future as a lawyer has been stopped for she can not pass the state bar exam. Her memory has been damaged, as she has gone from a top graduate to one that can not remember what she had learned in law school. She has taken the exam 4 times and failed. Now the loss of memory happened after she was taking the drug. I guess one could argue that the loss of memoryy is from something else. But when over and over people show this type of cognative dysfunction after they took topomax, it could go a long way for people to make their own determination a to if the drug caused it or not.
Now Scott states that one could avoid the cognative issues if they take it innitially in a particular way. I have never seen any report that confirms that. If there is one, I ask for you to post a link to it here, now.
