"i take 1000mg a day for bi-polar ii.  i first went on this medicine at 200mg back in september last year when i was in a manic episode and was first diagnosed.  at that time they also put me on quetiapine and citalopram. i am not just on epilim. i am stable apart from a couple of days a month where i am very down.  reading the reviews i am totally relieved to hear that other people just don&#039;t feel full on this medicine- i am constantly hungry. i never feel full and eat and eat. i go to the gym four times a week to try and counteract this though.  i have gained 28lbs since starting to take this medicine and i&#039;m really trying to lose it but it&#039;s tough going to be honest.  better than me being mad though."
