Now when I was on the depakote, I really didn't feel the need to honk my horn and definitely did not yell at cab drivers no matter how stupid their driving was. I just stopped the depakote this week and I'm on 125mg of topamax. I see my pdoc tomorrow. Is the anger control dose dependent?

I was the one that made the above comment and for me it was dose dependent the anger control and acting out was not under control until I was at about the 200 level. Keep in mind it is not a magic bullet it took at least 2 weeks to build the tolerance to control these tendences. I hope this works as well for you as the depakote. I am sure it doesn't work for everyone. The advantage of Topamax is not having to go for the blood testing. Good luck and remember it is important to do what works for you. Lexie
