I seem to recall you saying it didn't work for you, but I will always swear by my Geodon lamictal combo.

Yeah, apparently Topamax is known for being...Dopamax. Geodon works for everyone I can think of who I've heard mention it. The problem I had with it was that it made me sleepy during the day and gave me insomnia at night.

That said, maybe the problem was with an interaction with other meds I was also on at the time. Many times I regret having told a new prescriber about a med I was formerly taking that didn't work back then. I find that they almost never bother to request records from the previous place, anyway, and I should have kept my information to myself.

Of course, all it takes is a

Me: "Welll...we haven't tried Geodon."

Script person: "Oh? I thought you said you'd tried that medication?"

Me: "Me? Nooo...." Shakes head, "I've never been on that one."

Script person: "Hm! Okay, let's give it a try!"

Me: "Okay. I guess."
