I am in a clinical drug trial for Topamax. It is to
get Topamax approved by the FDA for use for Bipolar I.
I am getting 500 mg of Chloral Hydrate every night.
It puts me out like a light in about 30 minutes.
It comes in a capsule. My first 7 days in the study, I was in a
treatment center and was give the stuff in a liquid
form. Very nasty tasting. Only works for about 6 or 7 hours.
No after effects at all. No hangover feeling or
headache. I am not drinking alcohol at all right now.
You are not supposed to drink with the stuff.
I don't know if the trial's pdoc will continue with it once I'm out of
this phase of the double blind placebo study. Which will
be in mid May, I believe. I am certainly on Topamax. Either
400 or 500 mg a day. I got up to that level in
one week. I am now in my 5th week. The side effects
are very slowly fading. I am still unable to drive.
I have some major cognative problems, but can function
better with each day. Thank goodness. Let me know
if you have any other questions. I can still type
most of the time. lol Kat
