I agreen with Jannette. Topamax, along with Lithium, has been my lifesaver. I take only 100 mg a day, and it works like a dream.
I have noticed some cognitive slowing. (I actually scored less on an intelligence test after starting Topamax - I scored about 10-15% lower since starting the Topamax). All the questions were the same kind that I struggled with ... sequential mathematical questions. It was very frustrating because math was always my easiest subject.
But now I'm happy, and I'm still bright, and i'm productive. Plus, i work in design and don't need that much brain power anyway (wont' say that to the boss!)
plus no weight gain. good luck. Janice
