Bipolar Disorde
"I was diagnosed bipolar 2 about 3 years ago.  I am a 36 yr old female. I was originally given topamax 50mgs at night with seroquel 50mgs, as well as a variety of antidepressants and klonopin for anxiety.  That worked great for awhile until it didn&#039;t and I weened myself off everything. DON&#039;T DO THAT!! 
I had a horrible hypomanic episode followed by a 4 month depressive crash.  I&#039;m now on Latuda, Celexa, Klonopin, and my good buddy Topamax.
I have had no serious side effects from Topamax.  A little hair loss (more like extra hair in the brush) but it&#039;s only noticeable to me.  Not bad.  No word loss, no memory problems.  I&#039;m in grad school with a near 4.0 GPA.  It helps me maintain my weight so the other meds don&#039;t affect me."
