So in your case Stresser, it's probably the Zoloft that is helping the depression.

> I am bipolar II, or so I have been diagnosed, and I take Topomax 225mg, Zoloft 100mg , and Adderall XR 20mg per day. I am doing well, and not depressed at all, as I was before. Life is much better, and I am stunned at the turn-around these medications have given me. It doesn't work for everyone. Everyone thinks the topomax is an automatic weight-loss pill, but it's not. It didn't need to lose any weight, so therefor; I didn't. My daughter also takes it, and she needs to lose a few pounds, but she didn't lose any either. She also didn't gain any like people do on other mood stabilizers, so that's a positive for the topomax. (Especially if it works). It has helped level out her moods, but the doctore has added Trileptal a few days ago, and we are hoping to see more improvement as the days go. -L
