"i have been fairly recently diagnosed formally with bipolar ii (among a plethora of other things, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder, as well as tourette&#039;s syndrome). i&#039;ve previously been on antipsychotic medication, which i cannot emphasize enough on how negative my experience with this class of medicines has been. abilify made my anxiety worse. seroquel made me gain 20 pounds in 2 weeks. geodon was cost prohibitive and amplified my anxiety. the only side effect i have complaints about is fairly severe dry mouth. i&#039;d recommend a mouthwash that is for people with dry mouth if you opt to take this medicine. otherwise, i have noticed nearly instant improvement in my symptoms with this."
