> Hi, I am a researcher and have been researching Topamax for about 7 years. In all clinical tests, topamax was more effective on mania, and not very effective for depression. In many documented tests, topamax actually exacerbated depression. However, topa can have varying effects on different people. If it helps your depression, that is great! But clinically, it has tested to go straight to the manic side of depression. As is zonegran, the new ms out of Japan, and very similar to topa. Hugs. Murph
MURPH!!! Happy New Year...
and so glad to see a post from you...
now, some information, please...
does this mean that Topomax is going to kill the 'artistic temperament' that is the manic in me????
SOB....
and what is an 'ms"?
and as topomax is really making a difference with these silly and annoying and at times devastating not to mention embarrassing seizures, does this mean that I am going to have to go back on anti-depressants to deal with the depression that, as of today, is officially recognised?
While I do not want to spend the rest of my life with these times of blackness, neither do I want the joys (oh yeah) of zyprexa and its relatives... I know, picky picky...
but there has to be something better...
kat who is never satisfied....
