So I talked to IOP pdoc about dips into depression that I’ve been experiencing. Inexplicably he decided to start me on topamax instead of raising lamictal like I thought he would. So now I’m on THREE mood stabilizers. The thing is I’ve read here time and time again that topamax has done jack **** for people’s moods. Has anyone at all had success with it helping specifically with depression? I know it can make you stupid as well, oft referred to as “dope-amax”. I don’t know if I even want to take it tbh. Except that it might help with weight loss.

Oh and my insurance is screwed up because I haven’t paid for cobra yet so I had to pay out of pocket and a 15 day supply was ****ing $55. That’s ridiculous. I found it on GoodRx for like eleven. I don’t know why my regular Pharmacy charged me so much except that maybe it wasn’t written for generic.

Anyway has anyone had a good experience?
