> One reason I switched from lithium to topamax is that to get a dose of lithium that works for me, it supresses my thyroid -- I didn't like the idea that I would then need to take thyroid supplements to make that right. Now I am back on the lithium, for how long, I don't know. Sigh.
AKC,
Did you discontinue the Topamax? I know you had a tough time when you pushed the dose. Were you unable to restablize at 150 mgs? Did you find that anxiety became an issue with Topamax?I sure am find it more activating than I expected. But so far, I am tolerating it ok, hallelujah! I haven't had a good stretch in a while, and I feel "due!" Here's hoping!
That is rough about the Li and thyroid. I think I would be stomping my feet too. Hang in there and thanks,
Chloe
