"i was diagnosed with bipolar disorder just a few months ago. i&#039;m 25 and let me say this medicine works great. i could tell a difference within the first week and my husband (whom i was driving absolutely crazy) saw a huge change too. i feel happier now and the &quot;manicness&quot; has gone away. i have noticed the weight loss but not too much. i was weighing in at 160lbs and now i&#039;m down to 150lbs so 10 lbs in the past 2 months is good. my sex life is back to normal where i hope it will stay. i feel like a better mother and wife now, all because of pristiq."
