I probably need to go one them and was wondering if anyone can tell me what they are like? side effects etc....

I am worried that they make you drowsy like the anti-psychotics??

I appreciate all your input

i have been on lamictal with no side effects but it only somewhat worked.

topamax works really well and i lost weight on it, no other side effects.

trileptal made me really anxious and made my panic attacks come back.

didn't do anything for me. Seroquel as my anti-psychotic works a lot better. makes me tired and a bit numb, but otherwise very good.

I take Saphris and it seems to be working okay. It does knock me out but I take it at bedtime and I'm fine by morning.

Best wishes, Gayle

Thank you so much guys I really appreciate you taking time to post and I feel a bit better about them now.

I like the sound of topamax! anything that makes me lose weight is always a bonus

Thanks again everyone xxx
