I'm actually going to ask her to write me a letter for work stating my need to work from home for a little while as I started Topamax (for my migraines, backaches, moodiness, addiction, etc.) a week ago and it's just added to the stress, depression, etc. because of how tired and out-of-it it makes me. But since those side effects are supposed to wear off in a couple months after you've reached the targeted dose I came up with the solution to try to see if I could work from home till the side effects wore off, besides it'd be perfect too, while I'm trying to find the right med for my Atyp. D. My boss was totally fine with it, corp just needs a letter from my doc. So wish me luck that she'll be cool with it.

That's great that your work is so understanding.
Like it isn't anough to be depressed, you gotta have physical pain as well : (
I used to suffer horribly from migraines and backaches also. I hope the Topamax helps you with it. Only thing that helped mine was the dearly departed Vioxx and Zanaflex for the back, and repeated 5-day runs of fluconazole for the migraines, which are now completely gone.Let me know what your pdoc says, if you don't mind. Good luck!!
