In reply to Topamax Questions Of Effectiveness...., posted by Nickengland on May 30, 2005, at 10:18:32
Just wondering if you have tried Lamictal yet?
A lot of people find topomax very effective. You have to tritrate it slowly though. It helped me sleep. It did negatively effect my cognitive abilities. I wasn't on it long enough to say whether or not it helped stabilise my mood. I went psychotic from it. :-)
Good luck with it!
