Hi Maxime.

Thanks for responding.

> > I am currently taking Topamax at a dosage of 150mg to treat bipolar depression. Any thoughts as to how high I should go?

> Are you feeling any relief from the dosage you are currently at?

I started feeling an improvement in mental energy and concentration at 50mg. It was very, very slight, but noticeable. I have experienced no further improvements, but seem to have maintained a residual of what I gained at 50mg. I know one person who had been as high as 400mg, but this was done in an attempt to control mania. 200mg seems to be as good as 400mg for this. I think I would prefer to be at 100mg. Although I don't seem to be experiencing any cognitive side effects, I do experience muscle weakness and breathlessness upon exertion.

> When I was on it, my pdoc was aiming for a dosage of 150 mg.

What made you stop?
