I just went back on the Topamax again too...I read that once you go off Topamax and then need to go back on it again, that it is not as effective the second time around.. My pcp wanted me to go on Neurontin, but I saw a Rheumatoid doc and he suggested Lyrica...I think I am going to hold out for Cymbalta...I think it helps with depression and the pain...I see my PM doc in a few weeks and I am going to ask him to switch me to Cymbalta...Me depressed? I keep asking for something for depression and I think because I am usually smiling, they will not prescribe anything...How much crying do I have to do? I started crying while talking to my PM doc and he closed the folder and ended the appt...so I guess crying isn't allowed...

Jan I just read how much Topamax you take....WOW! I would be a Zombie....That stuff just makes me feel whacky on my small dose!
