Kat, I read the BP Paintmom referred to as bipolar, not blood pressure. In this context that makes more sense.
I have two concerns. One is that at 400 mgs Topamax seems to be doing a good job of mood stabilizing, although my new pdoc is not too happy with prescribing off lable and would rather go to lithium. (Help!) It has completely pooped out on any appetite suppression properties it ever had and I am gaining weight hand over fist on an increased dose of nefazodone HCL (genereic for Serzone). 2.5 pounds in two weeks.
Second, the Topamax tingling in both hands has increased considerably, after a long interval of not happening at all. Have any of you noticed this? I'm wondering if it's the Top, or the fact that the arthritis in my neck is pressing on some nerve endings. Which ever it is, it's disconcerting.
Thanks for any wisdom about Topamax to lithium and trickster tingling.
