I used to take near the highest amount of topamax until I had kidney stones, unusual for a woman and had to go off of it. It wasn't working anyway. I now take a low level noritryplelene,  20mg ,antidepressant. I don't want to go higher because I don't want weight gain or lack of sexual interest. Nothing seems to help and I am now 57, suffered most of my life.

sorry I forgot to mention that my dad said he never liked the way he felt on antidepressants made him feel wonky.
