Topamax is used for many conditions. Depression is just one.
I didn't hear from my doc this afternoon. Could be that he's just too busy; could be he wants to talk to me or my counselor.
She's convinced I"m bipolar. I have never agreed with that idea. The topic came up when I was totally stoned out by the P-docs years ago on so many different meds. It was crazy!
I haven't gone to a shrink since. They didn't listen to me.
So, anyway, this med works for the both of us; me for my recognized depression; her cuz she wants to believe I"m bipolar.
BTW, she didn't know topamax treated depression either. And many of the other conditions too. I guess it's just not well know.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll let you know what my doc says, and how it goes.
Shalom!
