Topamax and drug companies

Hey it's me again. Just wanted to add something else too. I know that we're not idiots here or anything like that. Of course we know there are going to be side effects. I've worked in a pharmacy for 7 years and some of the stuff I wouldn't give a snake! We have to remember that this is a DRUG- meaning that a foreign body, a chemical, so our body has to adjust and/or reject it. Some of us can take it or simply cannot take it at all. I know for a fact a lot of Dr's get perks from Drug companies for promoting certain meds...such as topamax; topamax is a calming inhibitor, we're supposed to feel more sedated, so there in turn they throw in the line, "well if you start to feel depressed let me know". I'm going to try and do the best i can on just topamax for now. i've heard too many people complain about reactions with effexor/zoloft and topamax. Also I want to say the my side effects are subsiding with time, as they usually do. Because I have epilepsy I feel I have to be on this, but i hope everyone out there doesn't.
