Well, depakote kind of hits the whole brain, topamax only hits the temporal lobe. If you have a temporal lobe issues, topamax is going to help you. That is why your husband should taper off the depakote gradually, because topa is not necessarily picking up where it leaves off. I think strattera is one of the best things to come around in a long time. Strattera converts L-DOPA to norepinephrine and still reuptakes some dopamine in the process, which makes it a very good all around brain med, in my opinion, and also good for depression.
Give topa a try, it may work for the both of you. Titrate very slowly (somehow I think you know that), take all your vits, and heavy on the biotin.
