Perhaps you can look into Gabitril (tiagabine). It is a relatively new anticonvulsant that I don't think I have seen anyone here try. It was mentioned as something to try by a doctor with whom I consulted last year. I suffer from bipolar depression. I have certainly placed it on my list, although I have not researched it enough to be comfortable to take it sight unseen.

> Also, you might recall, I drank tons of water to help with the kidney issues (never had any) and took a B Complex "Stress" vitamin which helped greatly with the tingling AND the cognitive difficulties. I would revisit Topamax in the future, though at a lower dosage, if the Lamictal doesn't pan out. So far, so good; I'm takin' it much slower than the Topamax. I learned my lesson. Patience.
