Thanks for the response. Cyclothymia is similar to bipolar, I believe it may be considered "soft" bipolar. The extremes are not as pronounced. You didn't say what you were taking Topamax for; can I assume it was for bipolar? I also think I may have atypical depression as I stay a little depressed on Tegretol even after the mood swings even out. I've read that Topamax is sometimes used as a stand-alone antidepressant so thought maybe it would do more than Tegretol. Have you noticed any benefit like that since you've been taking it?
