Referral update

Stop Topamax


My GP (Dr. B.) put in an urgent referral to UCD Opthamology so I can be seen for the lights at the periphery of my vision. It's all holiday hours, of course, so I've not yet heard from them. Dr. B. checked my eyes with his light (some kind of tool) and said that it's good because he doesn't seen any bruising on my retinas. He told me that I have to rapidly decrease the Topamax, however, then stop taking it.

I am extremely concerned about the severe depression returning and how med dude will handle it. I've done a lot of research on Emsam and will ask him to please review what I'll write down for him. He's very stuck on "not causing a mania" and I really don't believe that's the primary issue at this time in my life; I believe the severe depression is a much more urgent matter.
