I have already expereinced the following: blurred vision, tingling in toes & hands, tastes (pepsi=metal), fever, mood swings, uncoordination, (unable to drive), no appetite, FML - Anybody?? I didn't see this one coming. I'm trying Topamax because Lamictal & Triliptal gave a severa rash. Other than that hey - I'm gonna go play Monopoly. http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/604898/109546/topamax-good-bad http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/604898/107786/bad-medications Mon, 29 Mar 2010 13:38:46 -0400 MsMoody I was recently diagnosed in Jan. 2010. I first tried Lamictal and stopped due to a severe rash on my skin. Real recently this March, I tried a new medication, Trileptal, and I had another bad reaction, rash, sore throat, fever etc. I am very skeptical on trying anything new. Any recommendations? Thanks. http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/604898/107786/bad-medications
