I have been hearing good things about Topamax as a mood-stabilizer for BiPolar(2). I'm currently on Lithium and cannot stand it - makes me nervous, jittery and awful tremors - to the point where I can BARELY WRITE. I have nice handwriting, but now I can hardly write checks or sign my name to things. I'm on a relatively low but therapeutic (blood levels is within the *normal* range) dose of Lithium.
I have appointment with pdoc on Monday, at which time I plan to ask about switching to Topamax. I would appreciate hearing any experiences with it, side effects, does it work, etc. THANKS!
