> I was just wondering if it is ok to donate blood while taking antidepressants? Also, since my doctor put me on Topomax, is it likely that he thinks that I am bipolar? Or do people take Topomax simply as a regular antidepressant? Thanx, and I hope all readers of Psycho Babble are doing well! :)
Most ADs are okay to donate blood on-just call the blood bank before you go in and ask about the particular ones you`re taking. The weird thing is, they always ask "do they control your symptoms?" No , none of them do, that`s why I keep trying new ones, but I`m depressed, not crazy, when they ask that I always feel like they think I`m going to freak out in the middle of the blood draw!
