It would be irresponsible for me to give Topamax another try, however effective a migraine prophylactic I know it is. Each time I went on, whatever add-ons I'd be taking, I'd gradually become severely depressed, until I' thinking of killing myself.
My Gipolarity was very difficult to diagnose. My long time psychiatrist, who teaches at the APA annual meetings and wrote a book on phycotropic drugs, only clearly realized it when she put me on Emsam 12. We went up to 12 because smaller doses did not work. Then, I was not only still depressed, but I was sexually promiscuous. It was clearly hypomania. I don't know that I can boost Serotonin because of that.
In any case, I'm tired of experimenting and researching. As Morganator said, if I can just add St John's Wort, I'd be grateful.
