Is that a pretty high dose....I was on it and if I remember correctly I was only taking 900 mg....300 in the morning and 600 at bedtime, but I may not be remembering right!!

I'm on 600 a day, 300 in the am & 300 in the pm, but it isn't helping the depression, neither is the topamax. right now, nothing is. :(
