"just started 80mg at night with a meal. was taking seroquel 400mg at night, gabapentin 4000mg a day and depekote xr. found a great shrink and was re diagnosed bi-polar i. in the past it was bi polar ii.  i never gained weight since i am type 1 diabetic. along with 0.5mg klonopin twice a day as needed for panic disorder. life seems brighter when i wake up. i am on no opoid meds. it seems this new drug doesn&#039;t spike glucose levels like most bi polar meds eg. seroquel.
