Lily,
You will never know unless you try it. Topamax has a lot of side effects [including weight loss, which is not too bad] but this med, though it's anti-seizure, is used much more for migraine headache prevention, mood normalcy, etc. Don't let the anti-seizure label get to you. I don't know if this is the right med for you, but I'd at least give it a 4 to 6 week try. Always start low and take your time raising the dose, especially since you are not that pro-med. Good luck.
