8. ⢠Bipolar & personality disorder(I,II,III)
⢠although the available evidence does not support its use
in any phase of bipolar disorder treatment more recent
review, published in 2010, suggested a benefit of
topiramate in the treatment of symptoms of borderline
personality disorder, however the authors note that this
was based only on one randomized controlled trial and
requires replication. Also the authors noted that the
long term effects have not been studied.
