Have you ever taken topamax/topiramate? If so, were you depressed at the time? Did it help your depression? If you weren't depressed, did it cause you to become so?

I'm thinking of asking my doc to put me on topamax for weight loss purposes, but I'm in a bipolar depressive funk.... so I don't know what he'll say, if it'll help or not.

*sigh*

thoughts?
