My niece tried Topomax for migraines, and ended up calling it "Stupamax" because it made her so rummy. Lamictal has had some of the same effects on me, but I wouldn't trade it for Topomax even if it is weight-neutral. Of course, I'm sure the Geodon and Zyprexa don't do much to help my brain fog.....
