In reply to ? About Effexor and Topamax? Please, posted by galkeepinon on June 30, 2003, at 22:18:48
I am still in the throws of a formal diagnosis. One thing for sure is that I have major depression symptoms that come often and are quite disabling at times. I am also on the dissociative spectrum during major stress and it is unpredictable when it will happen. No meds seem to be working for the depression. I felt a lift with topomax in the beginning but then fell right back into depression again. I take Prozac 40 mg as well and it does absolutely nothing for me. My doctor started the topomax because he was beginning to suspect bipolar rather than just depression which I've been treated for the last 2 years for. He is also suspecting ADHD. Nothing helps my depression. I almost feel like I've been through so much trauma that my brain just doesn't want to respond anymore. It just wants to give up and go to sleep forever. It is really quite sad. I have moments of excitement, but really only when I am at work. I am getting very tired very quickly. I understand your worry about meds.
