I am an autist (Syndrome Asperger).All the antipsychotics and antidepressants take me agressive. I want to begin a treatment with Topamac.
Can you inform me if this drug have any bad aggressive effects to aspergers?

There is no treatment for Asperger Syndrome. It's an atypical brain function, not a mental illness. If you've been prescribed antipsychotics, you have something more than AS.

Medications effect everyone differently, so just because someone does or does not react a certain way... it does not mean much... but my side effects with topamax were so awful, I cringe now when someone mentions taking that stuff. But that's just me... and I was taking them for the rapid cycling bi polar that I do not have. Oh the joys of the misdiagnosis... :? If it counts for anything, aggressive behavior was not on my personal list of topamax complaints, though.
