> > Hi! I've posted a few times and wanted to check in and see if anyone else has had success with Topamax. I've taken it for about two months. At first the side effects were terrible but they've subsided and it seems to be helping tremendously. I'm up to 100 mg a day and 40 mg of Celexa.

> I too am curious. I am a new user to Topamax and on the same combo as you...Celexa + Topamax. My dosages are 20 mgs of Celexa and 25 mgs of Topamax. I've taken Celexa for about 9 months but just starting the Topamax.

I don't know if you've been reading any of my threads, but I have started taking topamax in the last couple of months as well. I have been bp all my life but not stable until the last 5 years until I was on lithium(900mg) and zoloft(100mg). I gained about 30 lbs however, and my pdoc switched me to topa and zoloft. I was working up to 200mg of topamax and had a pretty severe hypomanic almost manic phase and my husband said -NO WAY. We have 5 kids and he rather me fat than manic!!! So now I am on 450 of li, 200 topa and 25 of zol and I FEEL GREAT!!!!!
We will see how long thisa lasts!!! what is your story???
