bipolar disorde
"I was on Lithium Carbonate for 15 years and  never felt like a "normal" human being. I felt like a zombie. When I was told by a new psychiatrist to pick out a new medicine for my bipolar illness, I chose Topamax even though it is an off-label treatment for bipolar disorder, it seemed to have the least amount of side affects and I feel WHOLE again. I have been on Topamax for 15 years (I think) and the only adverse effect I have is decreased sweating in hot weather."
