I've been taking Topamax for a dozen years or more and I feel its usefulness is at an end. I've been hanging onto it until recently, when I dropped it. I already take Geodon so I have a mood stabilizer. I haven't noticed much of a difference in my life and mood since I stopped the Topamax, so I think I will stay off it.
Now to tell my pdoc that I did this without consultation... she may accept it but she might not like it. |

Topamax is one weird drug. I started it for migraines but couldn't get to a dose that made a difference but the tiny dose (25 mg) did seem to help my mood.
A couple of weeks ago I ran out for a few days and thought it couldn't matter because it was so little and clozaril so much more powerful. I had to get back on quickly because I still need that tiny dose. If I could handle more it might fix me totally  .
