Welbutrin made me nuts but that is why my Dr put me on meds for being bipolar. I know my Topomax needs to go up because I am starting to have energy during the day. I hate to say it but....the Topomax wears me out. I'm not sure what to do. If I take it I am bearable but now I am starting to snap again so I know it needs to go up. I have a Dr's appoinment tomorrow. I don't want to go into stupidville..I already have problems remembering stuff. Will it get worse? If it does I don't know if I can handle it and absolutely REFUSE to take something that makes me gain weight. I will be crazy before I will be even fatter than I am now. I am only up to 100mg at the moment and my Dr said usually weight loss starts at 125mg and up...so MAYBE I'll start to lose weight if I don't lose my mind first. I didn't know if there was a big difference in me on and off the meds..but I really can tell now that my dosage isn't high enough. I have more energy to do stuff but it's also paranoid energy and irritation. So I can clean my house better but I snap at everyone. So I can have a cleaner house but I am a bitch. HELP!!!! When my meds work I don't feel like doing anything but sleeping but my mood is better. I don't know how much longer I can take this drug. I guess I will have to see how well I do on a little higher dosage. Oh well..any feedback?
