i don't know what dose you're on but i currently take 50mg in the evenings. is it being prescribed for your mood swings/depression? i'm under the impression it's being used for rapid cycling - at least i think that's why i'm taking it... ;)
i've also been on 150mg of egffexor xr but have recently tapered way down to 37.5mg - getting ready to stop i think. i just couldn't take the weight problems. the topamax unfortunatley had no effect on that and to be honest, it was a major reason i was willing to give it a try.
i haven't really noticed many side effects except that i seem more "stupid", which i why i have kept the dose so low
other than that, the effects seem subtle - i think it helps, yet i cannot really explain why or how... perhaps just somehow more even - although if you knew how moody i still was, that statement would make you laugh... :)
i would also appreciate any info you've been able to dig up as well. as you can see, there doesn't seem to be much on it out there
regards,
v
