Dry Mouth: drink lots of water, perhaps? this will also help prevent the dreaded kidney stones.
Dumbeding (heh, heh) and Mouth Sores: I think both of these are actually helped significantly by the addition of a B Complex vitamin supplement (at least, I have found this to be so)
Rollercoastering (for sherry gomez): I don't really know much about your situation or what your complete medication "picture" is (nor am I even a doctor for that matter), but it seems like you are having some benefits from the topamax. Perhaps, you might be able to remain on the topamax as an "adjunct" to a traditional mood stabilizer like depakote or lithium. Thus, you'd be on two mood stabilizers. (Though, I am preferring to refer to topiramate/topamax as a "neuromodulatory" drug these days).
