Sorry if I sound confusing at all I'm just going by information that doctors have given me and I guess I wasn't at therapeutic doses? No idea. As for the Topamax I've heard about the effectiveness being iffy but the no weight gain is the reason he tried it plus he said he had success with previous patients, and Lamictal gave me an allergic reaction otherwise that was great!

But I agree on the Seroquel! I've never been a fan of it for my body because of the side effects.

I have panic attacks too which is why my new pdoc went with a panic disorder. My last doctor treated that too with the Celexa and occasionally Xanax or Klonopin but currently I'm not using any benzos.

I'm kind of new to actually trying to figure out my problems... so sorry if I sound like a mess! I really appreciate all the advice
