"put simply, this stuff saved my life. i&#039;ve been on nine meds to treat my suicidality associated with my ultra-ultra rapid cycling bipolar ii. the aaps gave me tremors, seroquel made me a zombie, lithium made me suicidal, lamictal and saphris aggrivated my bulimia. my doc didn&#039;t want to use antidepressants for fear of driving me into mania. we thought we were out of options. i stumbled on topamax while looking at an nih research study. i suggested it to my doc. he said, why the hell not? in three days my suicidality was gone, and i barely cycle at all any more. this is a miracle drug."
