> JohnHi John,
I agree that those doses seem a bit excessive to begin with. Especially when it is only taking a week to get there.
That's one of the reasons I may decline the study. But those free drugs! lol Topamax doesn't seem to be cheap. I may go ahead and see
if this clinic doc will give me the script for Topamax. I can come up with the $ for the first script.
And try to see about the free med program from the drug company. It's just so hard to handle all of this stuff while
fighting off daily mood swings. The klonopin is helping with the anxiety and I'm only taking .5 mg every 12 hours.
Thanks for your feedback and listening to my ramblings. :-)WelshKat
