Abilify and Topamax

Has anyone ever taken this combination, and how has it affected you. I heard it can be dangerous so I am a little hesitant on taking it.

Hi

I am taking 10 mg Abilify and 100 mg Topamax.  I have only been taking the Topamax for a week so it is hard to tell what is going on.  I have had up and down mood swings.  I think it might be the Topamax, though.  The only reason I am hesitant to get off of it is that it keeps me from gaining weight from the Abilify, which I had been steadily doing.  I am going to hang in with it and if it gets worse, I will go off of it.  My doctor told me to take it at night so the worst side affects I will sleep through and it does help.  Exactly what kind of side affects are you having?  As for vistoril, I was given that for anxiety and it did nothing.  I'm taking klonopin and it works great except you have to take small doses as it makes you tired.
