Dear Ones ~ thank you and bless you for writing. It means a great deal, and I hope to find relief from Topamax, although lately, I've been so depressed, I'm wondering if I don't need more picking up on the bottom end (in addition to assistance with that top-end stress). This weekend was my 30th high school reunion. Ugh. I survived. Guess I won't need to do THAT again for another 30 years .... Anyhow, I delayed starting this new Rx so I could have a well-needed drink .... Plan to start my trial in the a.m. My dose starts at 25 mg/twice daily for a week. Then it increases to 100 mg daily for a week, and finally 200 mg. daily (therapeutic range?) I'll let you know how it goes. I especially appreciate the input I've received on cognitive effects, as I can't bare to have my mental powers diminished any greater than what I suffer already -- pushing 50. Good Lord. We all need the best intellectual grasp we can find, to assist this often arduous task of living with depression. Thank you all again for writing. By the way, I'm still a bit unfamiliar with how to post things here .... Here's hoping this works. XXX, E.
