    Default Mood Stabilizer Topamax?

    I have a mental disorder called schizoaffective. I'm on a mood stabilizer called Topamax. However I do not take it because it makes me tired and I feel like a zombie. On the other hand I never really have enough energy anyway. Does anyone know of a mood stabilizer that doesn't have this side effect? Or do they all?...Thank you

    You might also try Depakote ER. Lamictal does have some drawbacks. The potential for Stevens-Johnson syndrome, rash in general, as well as other SE's. Lamicatal has a complicated dosing strategy and it doesn't work on your symptoms, is very difficult to add other drugs to it.
