Cinnabar, I've been diagnosed Bi-polar as a side effect of Topamax (which is VERY raer as it is also used as a medication FOR bi-polar!) I shouldn't have been given topamax as I have a family history of bi-polar as my dad was bi-polar. Hope you are managing your probs well, I'm not doing so good at the mo, my eye's gone really odd, see my post in the kitchen, whats an opthalmologist? I don't think you can see them at specsavers in england can you? do you have to go through your GP? mine is on hols, locum is pants, she wont even read my file!
