Hello again! I'm back with a new combo that "seems" to be working (I feel like I say that every time). I'm diagnosed BPII and am taking:
Celexa 40 mg
Topamax 200 mg
Neurontin 2400 mg (600 mg, 4 x a day)The Topamax was too sedating before, but since I added the Neurontin, it's been O.K. I know this makes no sense as Neurontin is supposed to be sedating too.
For the first time, except for my brief stint on the Topamax at 200 mg before, I feel stable and fairly "good".
Has anyone had this experience with a similar combo?
Thanks!
- K.

Many people including myself have noticed that Topamax provides a good feeling early on in treatment (within 2 weeks or so). So you probably are being helped by the Topamax.
To get rid of the drowsiness, you may have your doctor prescribe a stimulant, like Adderall, Ritalin, or the new Provigil.
