Hi, Madge... I am just new to this group and noticed that you are taking Remeron with Topomax. My doc has prescribed the same for me, but also with Risperdal. Taking all three at once to start was not good... my heart raced, my blood pressure went up, I got dizzy, and extremely fluish. So, we reduced the dosages, but I still had a little trouble with my heart rate and it seems my blood pressure. The heart rate is attributed to the Risperdal, so I am temporarily not taking that one. And, I am trying to figure out which of the Topomax or the Remeron is causing the hypertension. Have you had any of this type of experience early on in your treatment? Or know of anyone who has? I think these may be the right meds for me, if I can just get past this particular side effect! I did notice the soda thing right away! I am glad to finally figure out what the problem is... I thought I just kept getting bad bottles... =)
Any advice on the combo of the two meds would be very helpful indeed... thanks!
