Topamax sounds like a good one to try. I need a good mood stabilizer. Not sure he'll wanna change it. But my reasoning would be it's never right level; either low or high. I def could stand to lose some weight as I have really piled on almost a whole other small person since started on varioius meds 4 years ago or whatever. I've been on depakote, that stopped working or something; I'm not sure why or what happened. and if topamax is better than neurontin that's more important to me because I need a good mood stabilizer because I get agitated and rapid cycling a lot. My pdoc I think may have considered it before but, something about my insurance wouldn't pay for it I believe I remember that. If u can add more to what I've just said that's great too. Thanks, Danielle
