hey all. I've just been browsing r/BPD and stumbled across [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/Psychiatry/comments/1xmqqw/any_meds_that_treat_borderline_personality/cfd6s9h?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web2x&amp;context=3) &amp; I was wondering if anyone had tried Topiramate, aka Topamax, and how they found the experience?

I've tried a lot of medication now &amp; have a lovely NHS nurse who actually trusts me when I bring her sources to show where I've pulled the names of these meds from. I'm currently tapering off Duloxetine with her help because it was doing nothing good for me, and I'm already experiencing the twitching of impulsivity, quick-changing emotions, ...and well you guys know the rest - just typical BPD behaviour that I've worked hard to curb for many years.

I'd really appreciate any input on Topiramate/Topamax and I'm ofc more than happy to reply to anyone with questions about previous medications I've been on! 

Note: I'm aware BPD can't be treated with medication, but it can help with some of the symptoms, along with my co-morbid depression &amp; anxiety. I also practise DBT and am currently being moved from one mental health service to the other ♥
