In reply to Topamax: Crying Jags/Suicidal Thoughts, posted by Elzabeth on September 2, 2001, at 18:01:24
> That pretty much sums it up. I am not suicidal, but life is miserable. Go to bed miserable. Wake up miserable. Am on Serzone for depression, and obviously it's not working. My new M.D. recently added Topamax as a mood stabilizer and now I'm not only depressed but crying. Frequently. And having thoughts of suicide. Wouldn't you know it's a holiday weekend. Anybody else experience crying/suicidal thoughts with Topamax? XXX, E.
I'm another person who had crying jags (almost every day) on Serzone, plus felt suicidal fairly often (if I had a bad day, if something worthy of crying happened, if I drank one glass of wine, etc.)
There are some people who've been helped immensely by Serzone, I hear, but I had bad reactions. You might want to try lowering the dose or switching to another anti-d to see if it helps. I don't know anything about Topamax, sorry.
