"i&#039;ve been on every medicine. i&#039;ve had electroshock therapy. medications don&#039;t really work for me very well. i&#039;m only taking lithium er 450 mg right now cos my body can&#039;t handle more of it. i was taking topamax for headaches, i thought, but my psychiatrist said it might help my mood. been taking it for years. i didn&#039;t know that it did work for me until i stopped using it. i broke into a manic episode because i started taking that garcinia weight loss thing, and i wasn&#039;t on the topamax. well, i guess topamax does work.
