Oh Eve.... If you read my last post, you could surely tell that I'm not quite in a state to answer your questions, though I WOULD MOST CERTAINLY LOVE TO ANSWER ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS YOU EVER HAVE!!! Don't get me wrong. As for the tingleingyness (huh??? you understand that right??) I could say it, just not spell it :) it is VERY common and DOES go away in time... Most of the side effects go away in time, it just takes awhile.. The rest of your questions, I'm barely able to concentrate right now, so I know if I tried to answer them, the anwers would end up being about puppies and plantations, with something about common law marriage. So, let me get back to you about that... Wait, let me take another looksie... Hold tight for a second..
Well, for me personally, Topamax didn't affect my sleep. But I am very medication resistant (did that come out right???) I'm like the medication Terminator.... Not very many drugs affect me. I have very little side effects with drugs... I know that headache queen takes (or used to take) topamax... she may be able to tell you more aobut the side effects as well.... I know my mom used to take ambien for sleep.
OK, what I can say.... Once you get your mood stabilized, I would think that your anxiety should decrease. I know mine has quite a bit... If your mood is stabilized, then you should have a more normal sleep cycle, as well as less anxiety. If that doesn't happen, you may want to look into therapy. Are you currently involved in therapy? I'm in LOVE with it! And my therapist. In fact, I called him yesterday to proclaim my undying love and devotion to him... Oh, I'm pathetic :) Nope, I'm hypomanic....
