Topamax has helped me tremendously! The uppage (is that a word?) to 300 is what I needed to be "cured" of my depression completely! The 200 dose helped quite a bit, but at 300, all signs of depression are gone for me. But, be sure you tirate slowly. From what I've read here and elsewhere, the tiration up is what causes the cognitive side effects. Don't quote me on this but I think it's 25 every couple of weeks... So, jsut go slow... And if you do get the side effects, try to stick them out. I had them, but I stuck it out and I'm telling you topamax is the drug for me. I'm not saying it is your wonder drug, but it is surely mine. Yahoo! I'd do a commercial if my butt wasn't so big :)
