I added a small dose of Topa to my regimen of 150 mg Lamictal and 400 mg Wellbutrin hoping for some synergy with Lamictal. It actually improved my cognitive functioning up to 75 mg. At 100 mg I have some brain fogging. I think if I could stay at 100 mg/day for awhile that might clear, but things come up that I need to be functional for and I cut back to 75, so I still don't know.
I also have not had sedation or heaviness with Topa. A little agitation and some "creepy-crawlies" from it. Sorry, don't know how else to describe that feeling. But, that has subsided and I am doing pretty well on it. At 75 mg no effect on appetite. At 100 my appetite decreases. 100 must be the side-effect threshold for me.
I have to give that little bit of Topa credit for boosting my Lamictal and pulling me out of a downward slide. It's been worth it for me and I am feeling pretty darned well these days.
