Bipolar Disorde
"I switched from generic topiramate 50mg. TID (three times a day) to brand Trokendi XR 200mg (once daily) because I and my psychiatrist believed plasma levels would remain comparable to TID dosing due to Microtrol technology. My PDOC decided that a 50mg increase was fine. It sure was! I am indicated for topiramate for the following reasons:

A. Bipolar Disorder; topiramate acts as a mood stabilizer.
B. Drug Cravings; topiramate reduces my urge to use drugs, studies are directed at its propensity to reduce alcohol and stimulant cravings
C. Anxiety: topiramate is a GABA agonist and slightly anxiolytic 
D. Weight loss

Trokendi XR is far superior and smoother than generic topiramate when it comes to amelioration of symptoms. 10/10."
