I was just diagnosed bi-polar, and was prescribed Wellbutrin for concentration and focus, Depakote as a mood stabilizer, and Topamax for weight loss because Depakote causes weight gain. I did some reading and these medicines terrify me! Some cause seizures, some are used to treat seizures, some cause hair loss, death by liver and pancreas failure, as well as tons of other things. I don't want to slowly deteriorate or have a premature death because of medicines. I also don't want to be put more into harms way. If you have any great benefits of the drugs, or other useful information, please enlighten me!!
