Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband is bi polar and being treated with Topiramate (topomax) I read that this is an anti-seizure medication or one used for migraines. Is this a common med prescribed for bi polar issues or is there a better one. He now has Dupuytren s Disease. I know that this is genetic; however I read that anti-seizure medication can trigger it or make it worse. Can it?
