Care Bear;
I HATE THE COMBO, but I am in a state program, so there is a waiting period of one week to get new meds. I have been running a constant fever with the Abilify, and since I dropped the Seroquel, my muscles have been stiff which makes me really tense and uncomfortable. The Topomax has a definate cognative numbing or brain fog. I'm tripping over my words. It's only been a week on the Topomax, so I want to give it more of a chance, but the Abilify has to go. I can't sleep at all. I've been popping Benedryll to help with that since the new pdoc only has me on Trazodone. Back on the cocktail wagon for me. SO frustrating - it has been almost two years!
Hope you are well.
prodgirl> hi there-- i've taken all the meds above, but not altogether. right now, i'm taking abilify 20mg and topomax 300mg, plus a lot of other stuff. i can definitely sympathize with being overmedicated. what do you think of abilify and topomax together? do you think they make for an effective mood stabilizer togehter? at least you have lithium on the board, too, which, for me, anyway, worked like a real mood stabilizer. i'm not able to take it, anyway, which is why i'm on things like abilify and topamax. i'd be interested to hear how it's working for you. cb
