I've taken Topamax as a mood stabilizer for years and it's been great for me. I haven't noticed any agitation from it. I was the same way off meds and even if the Topamax was causing some of these SE's I would prolly still stay with it because of the good it's done me. I just wish I could find something else todeal with the agitation. I am so easily irritated about nothing at times and I don't want to be this way.
I'm glad you've had success with Lamictal and are able to attend lectures. I'm still not able to function outside the house, but maybe someday.

Thanks for taking the time to post to me.
