I have bipolar disorder, but funtion at a fairly high level. It's not easy for me, with difficulty concentrating, irritability, and confusion. Not features conducive (sp) to my job. I have just started taking topomax at a dose of 25 mg in the am and will be titering up to 200 mg a day over the course of 2 months. I'm on quite a cocktail: Zyprexa, neurontin, and lamictal. I recently discontinued lithium and wellbutrin due to drug interactions. I'm hoping the topomax will help with my voracious appetite once I get to the full dose. The only side effect I've noticed is a dry mouth. I have good and bad days and am a rapid cycler. Has anyone heard of adding ritilin to the mix? My shrink has eluded to adding this to my regiment as I have problems initiating activity, have mostly depressive symptoms, and am quite apathic about almost everything. Responses would be appreciated.
sincerely, art1
