> I am now up to 50 mg of Topamax twice a day (increasing at a rate of 25 mg per week). Overall, I seem to be tolerating it quite well (still some pins and needles from time to time in my feet). However, today, I just haven't seemed to care about anything. Not depressed or anything. Just don't want to work. Not much of an attention span. I'm not anxious (a huge problem with me and a worry by my pdoc since we took me off the lithium). So that is all okay. My thoughts are all okay and not racing. So everything seems really okay - just pretty docile and unmotivated.
Pretty much all the mood stabilizers make me feel like that; couldn't care less one way or another. Not so much depressed as pathologically bored & amotivated. I'm 'happy' to spend each & every day in a marijuana haze. Rolling one is an effort.
My new pdoc's solution is to add low-dose AD & atypical AP with mood-stabilizing properties (Olanzapine) (to Lamictal).
