I'm really glad to have gotten involved with this thread. Saw my pdoc yesterday. He seems interested in this group also
He originally started me on the Topomax to see if it would promote some weight loss.
As I have said in prior postings I am not supposed to be bi-polar, my moods have certainly changed! They Seem to have "smoothed out". No more quick witted
sarcastic retorts". No, more "too sensitive" hurt feelings or crying at the drop of a hat. I am now able to sit in a group without having
to make a comment. And, as for the cognitive stuff -- this may be a bit of a silly measure of that, but my husband and I are "Jeopardy Freaks"
and at first (when I was on 50 to 200 mgs per day I was a bit slow and cloudy and I almost gave the Topomax up. However, Im now on300mgm
and working up to 500mgm and all side effects (including the congnitive stuff) seem to have dissappeared. However, I am fifty-seven years
old,so who knows!! Thanks for your support and do hang in there all of you. Blessings--Maribeth
