"i&#039;ve been on this for 3 weeks now. it has definitely helped my mania. but i&#039;m still very depressed. i&#039;ve been having very vivid nightmares. which is strange because i take medicine for those. i also take ambien and citolopram. i feel like that&#039;s a lot of chemicals in my body. i am a drinker but that hasn&#039;t seemed to affect anything. my side effects are pretty much exactly what i&#039;ve been told and read up on. with the exception of the bad dreams. blood work must be fine. doc hasn&#039;t called. so far so good."
