"where do i even start? been fighting my crazy mood and bipolar disorder since i was an adolescent.  was prescribed this years back, and slowly i saw my life start to tangle up.  mood problems got worse, could not feel much remorse or feelings, just dampened emotions that got harder to control.   i strongly believe this medicine harmed my mental health during one of the times the brain develops significantly.  been off for exactly a year and still recovering.  finally i can sleep through the night after about 10 months, but still dealing and slowly on the way back from a miserable journey of anxiety, insomnia, and instability. mood should arguably be stabilized, not muted and worsened by this medication. be safe"
