I rapid cycled on 50mg topamax.. might be a little rough titrating up to 100.
I was a hyper-responder when I took it though. at 50mg I had some really intense side effects most dont get until higher doses. Maybe something else I was taking at the time raised my levels? Dunno.
Its supposedly good at taming angry outbursts in PTSD. But whether thats due to calming a mixed state or something else like slowing the amygdala I have no idea. I get the feeling the docs dont either! =(
Zoloft has been good on my PTSD, but my body seems to respond by 'somatizing' the depression so now I have pain and fatigue.
What symptoms make your doc think you have PTSD?
Andrenergic drugs will of course make you jumpy and hyperaroused.
