I had written a month ago about my 18 year old son who was going to college on wellbutrin. Anyway, long story short, he couldn't handle the anxiety he felt there, came home and decided to go off meds. He has had awful binge eating episodes where he is extremely agitated and the psychiatrist has diagnosed him as bipolar which I think is accurate. Maybe this is why he has never had luck on ADs for very long. This is his first mood stabilizer. He put him yesterday on topamax - 50 mgs. Anyone have any luck with topaax decreasing the overwhelming need to binge? He has gianed 25 pounds in a montha nad absolutely hates himself. I am really worried.
Please respond.
