> Is anyone taking Prozac with Topomax? And, I've heard that a mood stabilizer like Topomax should be taken along with an anti-depressant...? Also, at what time of the day do you take your dose(es)? I'm only on 50 mg, which I take at night, but it seems to make me so tired in the mornings. Thanks -
>PuraVida, I 'm taking 100mg Topamax at bedtime, 20 mg Prozac in the a.m.,and 300mg Wellbutrin in the a.m and personally I'm having the opposite affect. I'm having insomnia with the Topamax, and have started taking 25mg of Amitriptyline at bedtime to sleep. (By the way, I know the insomnia is not from the wellbutrin or the prozac because I have been on the same dosage of both for several years.) So, obviously we react differently to Topamax :) But, I'm also solely taking it for the benefit of weight loss. My psch DXs are OCD and Major Depression. When my Dr. prescribed Topamax though, he said one of the side effects he had seen with his other patients was drowsiness, so I know you're not alone.
