Just added Topamax and I'm scared...

Geeze, could I be on anything more? Well yes I guess so. I am also on Lexapro and am slowly getting off of that. I am also on Xanax as needed. How fun is this? Well my question is this: The topamax has just been added to my cocktail. I just worry if it's safe to add to all these other drugs? I have read so much about it on the internet about how unsafe it is and how you shouldn't take it. I'm scared to take it now. Any feedback would be great, opinions or experiences too. Thanks.

I take several too...Lexapro, Wellbutrin, and Risperdal. I was so stressed about maybe gaining weight from Risperdal that my doc let me try Topomax which causes weight loss in some people. Pros: Killed my appetite (not permanently, just for about a week after starting and raising dose. Major con: It made me totally stupid. Couldn't think of the name of things, couldn't remember things. I didn't think it was worth it so I went off it. I hope it works better for you. Good luck.
