I liked topamax a lot. The appetite reduction is a bug not a feature so it may not hit you. It helps with pain a bit and it can knock out irritation and rage for some folks.
Its used for PTSD which is why I was interested in it. But I never got to the dose level where it helped with hyperarousal since it made me cycle terribly.
The side effects I got were temporary paresthesia in the feet and I was pretty stupid at doses 50mg and higher. It didnt seem to mess with my reflexes but I had coordination issues.
My doc thinks Im making it up but I really do react to small doses of meds like this. It can be a PTSD trait apparently.
