Dear #1,

The generic for Topamax has recently come out! The generic is called

TOPIRAMATE it is less expensive. I tend to get migraine headaches also & I am bipolar like you. If you can not take the Topamax w/ Lithium, maybe you could try what I'm on, Topamax w/ Seroquel, works beautifully!!

Be well,
Holmes
