I know not dibetic medication but for mental health which in turn affects your diabieties. Anyhow, was wondering what others thought of this for Bipolar depression. I am new to it and so far may see a slight change but I dunno for sure.

Was in weight loss clinic and this was in the medication of a double blind study.
Fourth day taking the medication I passed out while driving and totaled my truck.
I recommend if you take this medication look close at the side effects

I was prescribed Topmax in addition to my Requip for Neuropthy I experience in my legs in the evenings. While I expereince Restless Less Syndrome, Its the hot burning poker sensations in my calves and the cramping that can give me fits when it starts.

Pros:

It has helped with the neuropathy.

Cons:

As far as forgetfulness, I can't remember. :) I was that way already.
