Hi, I heard about this board from another site called Topamax Talk that I participate at. I am bipolar 2 and have been diagnosed with major depression since 1995. I recently started Topamax about a month ago. I also was put on a trial of Lithium 450mg three times a day. Holy Moly did I ever get the tremors, blurry vision, and nausea. I gave it 9 days, then had to discontinue it. It was a shame because it was helping me a great deal to calm my thoughts as well as my mood. I'm still on the Topamax and it is working well. Does anyone have any experience they would be willing to share with me about Topamax and their experience and also their Lithium experience if they were on it? I have quite a history and recently a doctor tried some heavy duty meds such as Abilify, Geodone (sp?) and Thorazine. I really felt like a guinea pig. I really enjoy interacting with others and hearing and sharing stories and experiences about what we all have been through and are going through. I hope to hear back with any input or feedback.
Thank you,Gal
