This is a horrible thing to say, but it is the only thing to say....hang in there girl...
the first side effects of topamax are tough...and like with any other med, you just can't tell when it is going to kick in.Sorry I can't give you a time frame,but I can say that there are a lot of people in the ring with you.

thanks so much for answering...it means a lot to me. i'm sitting here all alone tryng to just hold on and tell myself that it's going to get better. i just wanted to know how long it would take before i felt a little better. i was given the topamax for bipolar II. the seroquel alone just wasn't doing the trick for the depression, although it had worked wonders for the anxiety, racing thoughts, and delusions. i'm still agitated, but i don't feel quite as bad as i did yesterday. i know i'm not acting "normally" yet because my husband asked me what was wrong three times over dinner. i was just trying to pay attention to him over the muzak, but it was nearly impossible. i'll just keep taking it and hope for the best.
