In reply to using topamax for bipolar disorder, posted by bumper on May 28, 2004, at 13:48:55
topamax has helped me for BPII. the se's diminished within the first month or so. i also take seroquel at night, so i don't generally have a problem with sleep. the topa doesn't make me agitated at all anymore, though now that i think about it, i was really feeling strung out for the first month. for me, it was worth the effort. i did lose my appetite, which can be a convenient se if you're on a diet to lose weight. if you don't want to lose any more weight, just make sure you don't let your loss of appetite allow you forget to eat your normal diet. i don't know. that's just been my experience with the weight thing. overall, i think it's been a good med for me. i hope this helps.
