It was beneficial at 75 mg but after giving it 7 weeks the stage fright stomache butterflies and constant diahoreah ~can't spell that darn word (to the point where I was cr*pping myself) was too much to bear.
Anyway I'm now at 50mg and them side effects have gone but feel this dose won't do anything already.
All other mood stabilisers gave me an inner unease/ agitation, some even made me more angry and didn't cease the rapid thinking....topamax eventually did.
I've tried these:
Lithium
Lamictal
Valporate
Tegretol
ZyprexaI still take Gabepentin that I find eases irritation and anxiety but not enough.
One more thing..I may of found one reason topamax may of helped is because it lowered my estrogen level so helped my premenstral problems as well...this is just a wild guess but it took away a physical symptom ( severe breast pain ) that I suffered since forever.
Thanks Slinky
