I'm not sure why the topamax worked for you at one
time and then didn't. It was that way initially for
me too. I think because I was in a VERY bad place...I
was very unstable and suicidal and on NO drugs...so when
I was put on the topamax, I DID feel better. But the longer
I stayed on it, and the more the dose was increased, the more
depressed I got. Who knows why. But depression is listed as
one of the side effects on the package.I think there are plenty of people on 20 mgs of lexapro. Maybe
you could try 15mgs. I think it depends on how sensitive you are to
meds. I don't know...not a doctor. But I hope you find something
that works. I just know that for me, raising the dose helped. I also
know that, for me, Topamax added to my depression.
