I ha ve to be honest, I have bipolar with severe depression, ,panic disorder, and ocd. I am prescribed depakote, topomax, seroguel, xanax,cymbalta and wellbutrin sr. To be honest, i only take the xanax, because of the weight gain of the others and the tranquilizing effects of the rest of them! and topomax didn't give me the helpful side effect of weight loss so I stopped all of them over a year ago and just used the xanax for the ongoing panic attacks (about 3-4 pills a day)I never told my doc I stopped taking all the others. He started me on prozac and had me stop the cymbalta which i wasn't taking anyway and I didn't take the prozac. I have an issue with gaining weight that i will only admit to you wonderful people. I just started taking the wellbutrin sr 150mg twice a day and decided to start up the topomax again as I have migraines also and thought maybe the 2 together would cause some weight loss. 9not wise I know, just being honest) i have been on the wellbutrin for 4 days and just started taking the topomax again tonight (300mg) along with my wellbutrin and my 1 mg of xanax (that made 4 for the day (4 hrs apart) and I felt overwhelmingly tired after all that and " passed out" at 8 pm and my husband could not wake me at all and after an hour, he finally did and when he did, i was sweating and couldn't talk or feel my arms or legs and was confused and sweating and was scared to death, like i was going crazy. I was scared to go back to sleep, fear of not waking back up. I had ringing in my ears and was numb all over and couln't concentrate on anything.I was trying to focus on a comedy show and couldn't even hear it because of the ringing. I tried to fight sleep and told him to keep an eye on me but fell asleep and woke back up sweating and shaking with my fists clenched, sweat, heart palpitations,head pouding, fear consumed me, cofusion etc...numb, you name it. I couldn't talk, when I finally could, my words were slurred. I almost felt like going to the ER but was afraid of being admitted. what happened to me??? I'm so scared and I don't want to go back to sleep. Please help!!!
