I started taking 25mgm of good ole' Benadryl between doses and have found a miracle cure! My pdoc didn't believe it at first, but he had another patient try it
and it worked for that person too. I still avoid direct sunlight and overheating,but it beats giving up the Topamax which I consider the best mood stabalizer to come down the pike! maribeth
