I take 200mg of Topamax a day. It's used as a mood stabilizer, but it helps with my migraines. I would have no idea if it was causing me any side effects as I'm on so many other meds.

Bobby, if you feel like you could benefit from a med like topamax right now, there are other mood stabilizers out there. You can ask your pdoc if trying one is a good option for you. Have you ever been on lamictal?

Dave, I'm so sorry you've had bad experiences with two therapists. I can understand why it would be hard to trust another one. When you are ready, you needn't be an open book... you can control the speed and trajectory of the sessions. Emphasis on control.
