> After two days at 100 mg, I must sadly report that I am a dunce (more so than usual). Since there is no hint of any additional improvement resulting from the addition of Topamax at this point, I am going to discontinue it. I might rechallenge after the weekend just to make sure that the cognitive blunting I experienced was due to the Topamax and not a temporary worsening of my depression.
I'm sorry to hear this, Scott. Assuming that rechallenging your system with Topamax yields results that suggest that at least some of your cognitive blunting may be due to the medication, will this mean that either ketamine or rTMS will be next for you? And if you don't mind me asking, to what extent would you say your symptoms are improved now (on your current regimen) over the way you felt when your symptoms were at their worst? Or in other words, about how far would you say you still have to go before you reach your goal of remission?
