Thanks Mitch
You are right about the withdrawal stuff. I have to be a positive thinker!I also am taking some nuerontin (400mgs) with the miniscle dose of Trileptal (375 mgs). I just posted something about it farther down this list in "Trilepal Experiences."
My pdoc also thinks going back to Li maybe a good idea. God, I just can't put up with the tremors and nausea and inability to feel anything good. It's the blah drug for me.
She also mentioned adding maybe 125 mgs of Depakote to my mood stabilizer hodge podge. I am not sure about that one either. I don't like being on so many at subtherapuetic doses... Have you heard of such a treatment stradegy?Ah, I am not really thinking straight. And can't decide what to do about anything right now. But I do think Top. sounds interesting. I need to research and hear more about it. My only concern is the weight loss that tends to come with that med. I am already thin and don't want to have any less of an appetite...
Top. sounds a little like Lamictal, in that you have to titrate slowly...But I hope Top. isn't as activating! I was too racy on Lamictal.I am sorry that Topomax didn't work out for you. But is a retry in the future ruled out?
Thanks for your timely post
Chloe
