I attributed the cognitive side effects to the topomax because I took depakote by itself and did not experience those. I also attributed the weight loss to the topomax as the depakote by itself made me gain weight. Now without the topomax I have gained 10 of the 20 lbs I lost. Topomax just wasn't for me. I have a job that requires lots of thought and I just couldn't do it with the topomax. My whole personality changed on it. I loved the weight loss but unfortunately it just wasn't for me. It helped a little bit with the mood swings. I kept me calm actually but I guess I saw myself differently than how my friends saw me. They saw me with no affect and with not much to say. I just wasn't the "sharpest knife in the drawer".
