Topiramate
"I have been on Topomax for bipolar II disorder, with lamictal. However Topomax has been a life saver for me. I tend to have racing thoughts and impulsive behavior, as well as bouts of irritability and anxiety, I am also on nuvival which can exacerbate anxiety and klonipine as needed. I am quite used to the cognitive changes, they do not make you stupid. Misconception. Intellectual level is unchanging. However, I had to learn to compensate for word find instances, word pronunciation and some fatigue. I should probably take half in day, but I have days fatigue but would rather not due an extra klonipin added to night dose. But this may be needed. Don't let the bad experiences stop you, we really have to experiment to find what works for us"
