Thanks, Kat. (I hope it's you who responded--I csan't remembere for sure.) I've been on Topamax for about three years. At 400mgs the Stupids were terrible. I'm also taking 200 mgs of trazodone--since September--and.5 mg clonazapam (Klonopin)if I need it. I'd been on 300 mgs of wellbutrin but my pdoc said stop because she's going to try provigil to counteract the almost overwhleming lethrargy that hits every now and then. This is a problem especially on laundry days--those basement stairs, you know. This is when I start to question the whole diagnosis. Am I walking with weights on every extremity because I don't want to do the laundry, or because I'm depressed and the generic desreyl has it masked so I can't feel it?
When I went off serzone, she said cold turkey. I tapered. Same with wellbutrin. Same with Klonopin when I was taking 4 mgs a day--whooeee, try that one cold turkey!
Anybody got suggestions about going off Topamax? Experience with provigil?
There is no question that foot in mouth has been a life long affliction--I think it's my good judgement that's squiggled loose. I often say things I later regret. And I feel sort of cottony inside, if that makes any sense.
I stopped drinking vodka in 2001. I began drinking in 1995. Prior to that hardly any ETOH, now an occasional glass of wine with a meal. I combined it with SSRIs and wellbutrin. How lethal was that? To brain cells, I mean.
bleaagghh.
