In reply to Topomax - is it safe?, posted by Sandy on May 29, 2000, at 11:12:14
Although I am not bipolar and have never taken Topomax, I have read some good things about it. It is usually chosen after several other mood stabilizers have not worked. Like lamictal, is has pretty much a benign side effect profile and is very safe. Since it is relatively new, it is not very popular yet. Good luck!
Five minutes ago, I was reading a document on bipolar disorder which stated that the average manic depressive looses 15 years of their life due to the illness. Just thought you might want to know that.
