Topomax - anyone tried it?

Does anyone have experience with Topomax? I heard it generally is not so great as a mood stabilizer (though it does help one friend of mine). It also helps people lose weight (true for 2 of my friends) & I am ALL for THAT! LOL A couple friends even told me it helps for migraines and nerve pain. Wow, sounds like a wonder...

Med Dilemma

He just started his meds about 1 month ago... Read more Chevron
