Long-term effects of topiramate on bipolar mood instability, weight change and glycemic control: a case-series

K N Roy Chengappa et al. Eur Psychiatry. 2001 Apr.

Abstract

Topiramate is an antiepileptic agent, which is being investigated as a mood-stabilizer. Three obese individuals with DSM-IV bipolar I disorder and type II diabetes mellitus received topiramate treatment in combination with antipsychotics and valproate or carbamazepine. In addition to improved mood stability, these individuals lost between 16 to 20.5% of their pre-topiramate body weight and also achieved significant glycemic control.
