I am new to this thread so I hope I am not off in saying that I am encouraged by all the talk about losing wt on Topomax. I have only just started on it and am only on 25 mg each day so far. I am a severe bipolar experiencing insomnia, panic attacks, and nightmares, at times even hallucinations. I hope the topomax works for me and does not dull my mind as I am a psychology major. I have tried all the other mood stabilizers with very bad reactions to all. So far I am not having a reaction to the topomax, but of course it is only 25 mg!
I am off all the antidepressants, including paxil. My psychiatrist said it is dangerous for bipolars to take antidepressants. I read that somewhere on the net, also. Anyone have any views on this?
