Hi....be careful with the premarin. If you smoke you may want to talk to the doctor about it. I was on it for 23+ years and was only recently told that with my smoking I was a walking timebomb waiting for it to explode. I am no longer on it but it is better to be on a ERT then an HRT.

Why are you on Topamax? Paxil is just for depression and Topamax is for seizures. Not sure of those two.

Hope this helps some.

Topomax has not been FDA approved for anything but seizures. Neurologists give it to help prevent migrains as well but some people, like me for instance, can not take the drug.

it's in the pill handbook, i found it at chapters, also used for mood controlling, if it wasn't FDA approoved, why would they issue it to a teenager with constantly changing chemicals in their brain? that could have screwed me.
