I was first put on lithium which was awful..now I am on topamax which I really like..I was tired a little on a 100mg..I am now on 200mg and not tired at all..now I have no side effects that I am aware of and would like my doctor to try higher dosage because the first few days were
"stunning" ..a "middle" found me the first few days..he also put me on risperdal..an atypical antipsychotic which I take at night ...it has helped me big time with rage and obsessive thinking..and probably mania...only side effect was weight gain ugh..especially when he doubled
my dosage...
also a lot of people swear by lamictal as mood stabilizer of choice..I haven't mentioned that to my doctor...especially since topamax has given me no side effects and am curious about higher dose
after that initial effect
