Madge -
Thank you for your input.
The reason why I have added Topamax to my regimen is that my pdoc could not put me on a higher dose of Lithium - it was causing diarrhea. Or maybe it was some of the foods I eat. Anyway, she was concerned about potential toxicity of my liver. Also the Seroquel was not giving me any results and I was also having some side effects. My pdoc is going to phase out the Seroquel. Topamax was added for additional "mood stabilization". (I'm Type II Bipolar.)
Thank you very much for the suggestions. I will be sure to drink plenty of water and drink cranberry juice. Tonight I'm going up to 37.5 mg of Topamax (The dosages of my other medications are the same as in my first post from January 26th.) So far, I'm having no headaches tonight!
