Hi
I am so glad to hear that there are some folks who have stayed on this med long term. It's my impression that people can't tolerate the side effects over time.
I have finally gotten off Trileptal, and I am anxious to give Top. a try now. I have been in a nasty, hostile mood for days and don't feel able to cope with things at the moment.
However, I don't want to put too much stock in any med. I am often blasted by side effects, and just pray Top is helpful and tolerable for me. I just will have to take it slow and see I guess. Anything is better than this awful funk I am in now. And I was really hoping I could cope without a mood stabilizer....Kingfish, Do you have any skin problems on Top? That is my biggest problem with Trileptal. My skin burns and scalp has been so sore and dry for months. I also have been intolerant to the sun. Can I look forward to these things on Top too?
Also, how long have you taken it and what dose if you don't mind me asking. I am so glad it continues to help with your thought patterns.
Thanks,
Chloe
