"day 6 and i&#039;m up at 2am. maybe the energy is kicking in, i don&#039;t know. i suffer from bipolar, anxiety, panic attacks, depression. i usually feel a little manic all the time, but the 2nd day taking this medicine, a calmness came over me. i&#039;m a pack a day smoker, but haven&#039;t had or wanted a cigarette from that 2nd day. i&#039;m taking 75mg twice a day, but i think i need to just take it in the morning. i don&#039;t feel all energetic but i haven&#039;t been taking a nap in the afternoon like usual. and tonight i can&#039;t fall asleep...and i take 100mg of trazodone to fall asleep. also i haven&#039;t been on amazon and ebay wanting to buy everything i see. i&#039;ll see how it goes day by day but i&#039;m very hopeful! by the way...if you are bipolar do not take lexapro!"
