"after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, my doctor put me on this medication.  i started at 25mg and eventually went up to 200mg.  this medication is horrible.  i was losing myself in the way it changed who i was.  i became very irritable and unhappy.  the littlest things set me off.  i was not myself while taking this medication.  i lost friends and my creativity.  i wish i never had started this medication."
