12. Is ten milligrams of Topomax a negligible dosage for treating Bipolar disorder?

    August 24, 2010, 7:43 am

    My fiance is bipolar, and she's taking Topomax. Personally, I think she should be on something else, but that's not what this question is about. She gets her medication from a free clinic, so we don't always have alot of pills for her. It's just not all that reliable, unfortunately. So she just takes 10 milligrams a day, in order to stretch them out. I think she could really raise her success rate with these pills by upping the dose to 25 mg a day. At least until we can afford to regularly purchase her medication at a pharmacy... So is 10mg even worth taking though?
