I was reading the prescribing medication for topamax and it looks like you are as likely to have depression, confusion, fatigue, and nervousness with topamax as you are to loose weight. Do you take topamax because other mood stabilizers haven't worked? Otherwise, it seems like your chance of having bad side effects outweighs the chance of loosing weight.

You can always try Lamictal which has no chance of weight gain.

Do you know if Lamictal can cause heavy sedation like Topamax can?
And, super, Topamax has helped me, but I also take 40 mg of Celexa a day.
- Thanks!
