kittydoesbanal Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 What's a good anti-depressant or anti-psychotic to go with Topamax? I'm hoping to get back on it, switching from Symbyax, but I need a harsher mood stabilizer than Topamax can provide on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gretl Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I would think that depends a whole lot on your symptoms (and your metabolism). Have you ever tried any others? Sounds like you were on Topamax before; was that by itself? My daughter has temporal lobe epilepsy in addition to the bipolar, and has been doing fairly well on Topamax, Trileptal, and Abilify.

kittydoesbanal Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 I was on Topomax before for seizure control, and Seroquel was along for the ride too. I didn't like the Seroquel though. The Topomax, however, was fine, and I'm looking for any positive combos people have had with it to present to my doctor on Thursday.l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittydoesbanal Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 I haven't been diagnosed as epileptic yet, though I've had several seizures, and I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder though not by my current physician, though I fit most of the symptoms. I'm not sure what my current diagnosis is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
