topamax isnt a really good mood stabilizer. Its effects on anxiety might depend on what 'kind' you have. The kind with physical arousal like PTSD seems to respond well to it, for me anyhow.
I couldnt tolerate it over 50mg since I started rapid cycling and getting awful anxiety. But then again even lamictal is destabilizing for many until they hit 200mg or so. a PRN add-on might be needed.
The startup might be harsh, it depends on the person. I had a lot of tingling in the hands and feet, and the carbonic anhydrase effects made soda taste bad. Maybe a little uncoordinated for awhile.
Food? This was the ultimate diet drug for me.. I didnt want to eat anything. But thats not what I go to a pdoc for, lol.
