"i have bipolar 1 and started this medication to help with breakthrough symptoms while on a mood stabilizer.  within the first few hours i knew this wasn&#039;t the right medication for me.  i was so anxious inside, i felt as if my blood was crawling around beneath my skin. after two days of taking it i knew that if i stayed on it, i would be at risk of suicide to stop that horrible feeling.  taking it made me stay awake for two days, fretting with anxiety.  i spoke to my doctor the first chance i got and she immediately took me off of it.  i&#039;m on other medications now and very stable for years."
