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... Read moreChevron

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOUR PARTNER CAN DO FOR YOU?

How do I lose weight when I'm diagnosed with more than BiPolarI?

I've been diagnosed with more than BiPolarI, worse than that I have an eating disorder - I hate food.
