Topiramate
bipolar disorde
"I'm going into my third week on Topamax.  For the twelve years previous to this medication, I was treated vigorously for clinical depression.  (Clearly, to no avail.) My 'mood spikes' as my husband and I lovingly call them are already beginning to subside.  My toes, fingers and nose do tingle, and now that my dose is doubled (third week, time to titrate up), I'm definitely losing my appetite. (I have a few pounds to spare, so I'm not mad about it!) I hope to update this page again in a month or so to let you know how the medication is going then.  After being on every anti-depressant the market has ever seen, it's a God-send to have FINALLY been pointed in the right direction.  (I'm 30 years old, married with a 2 year old)."
