Topamax is used off-label a mood stabilizer, tho they call it a "weak" one. It also is supposed to have some "antidepressant qualities." Lots of people take it as a mood stabilizer, but it works better for some people more than others. I take 200mg at night (along with all the other **** I take). I know it has definitely helped with my migraines.

I'm so happy that you are committed to your PT and that you are making advances. I hope that your neuro will recognize that. There's an outside chance that she can recommend some neuro rehab of some kind since you have demonstrated some physical improvements

I'm glad that the call went well with Epic. Sometimes I get worked up, and even though I wait to calm down I can't, so when I talk to someone on the phone I tell them I have an anxiety disorder so they don't get as angry or impatient with me.
