I would so take the insane side effects of Geodon over Topamax. At least you can take congentin with Geodon to counter the bad side effects (tics, seizures, passing out at random times). There's not a pill that you can take with Topamax to make you smarter.

Be careful with Topamax, if you don't get the mg in the right range, it will screw with your temporal lobe functioning correctly. I had a month of being stupid. People would ask me what I was working on, and I would be looking right at it, and I wouldn't be able to tell them. I would just point to my screen and say "this."
