Topamax generic. And if so did it work.

Topamax as a mood stabalizer? I've taken trileptal low dose. What's it being used for for you? Love Phillipa

Having never had the brand name medication, I couldn't tell you how the generic compares. However, for me the medication had the following effects:
-It slowed my racing thoughts.
-It impaired my train of thought processes. Sometimes I'd be sitting there and I couldn't remember what it was I was just thinking about.
-It made sodas taste like sheeit. Weird.

Well yeah, its an anti-convulsant so it is being used as a mood stabilizer. Now I wasn't using it that way or so I thought. Orginally it was prescribed for me for migraines but p-doc thought it might have been helping keeping my moods somewhat under control and might be part of the reason panic attacks increased intensity after discontinuation.
