I have checked interactions between Topamax and Latuda and it seems that they are more present in children and manifest in symptoms. So probably OK for me at my large body mass to continue with a tiny dose of Topamax, but I will hold off for now, hoping that Ozempic at a higher dose will be enough. If so, I will feel grateful to Topamax for giving me the initial appetite decrease which prompted weight loss before Ozempic kicked in.

The main issue with Topamax and Latuda is the same with any anti psychotic and topamax combined - the lack of sweating and over heating. It has a “major” interaction warning on drugs.com. I still took it with Seroquel but I had some not so good moments in summer. You really need to stay out of the heat and try and keep hydrated because your body can’t handle it properly.
