Well here's the update from my pdoc appointment yesterday...
After talking to my doctor about how the Zonegran was effecting me ( adding depression & hair loss ) we decided to stop the Zonegran and NOT start the Topamax because we both felt I would NOT have a positive reaction to it and to just stay with the Abilify for my bipolar.
I really do think I would have the same reaction as I did to it the first time I took Topamax. I was tired all the time, my hair loss was MASSIVE and I seemed irritable on it. So I think I will follow my gut feeling and also my pdoc's advice and stay away from it, I feel OK with that at this time.
Best of health to you all and have a good after noon... :-)
