Could be that your doc is concerned with your liver or more likely your kidneys--Topomax can be hard on both, particularly your kidneys. Also, birth control pills can be an issue with Topomax. Lamictal is much easier on your system, and has been shown to be a better bipolar drug for most people.
Whatever you do, I hope things get better for you...I hate for you to be miserable!
