Has anyone tried both tegretol and Topamax (topiramate)? I'm on lamotrigine currently but it's not working.. Has anybody had positive or negative experiences with either that they can share? Or have any other recommendations for medications they suggest? I have a psych provider, but she's fairly new to the field, plus she's a PA, not a PMHNP or a psychiatrist so she had less schooling for psych than the latter 2 professions.

I'm trying to stay away from second generation antipsychotics because they're known to cause weight gain and I recently lost 50 pounds and don't to gain it back.
