I tried both. I am bipolar so I was prescribed Lamictal for this disorder. I have no side effects from Lamictal. Then I switched to Topimax because I thought it would help with alcohol and weight probs. It did for about a month - then it didn't really work in that respect any more. Also, the side effects of Topimax were severe, not to say horrible, but they tapered off after a couple of months. I took it for 8 months and now I am back with Lamictal.
