"i haven&#039;t been diagnosed with bipolar, but my psychiatrist put me on this over a year ago for a mood disorder. she built me up to 200 mgs and about a year ago moved me to 150 mgs in the morning and another 150 mgs at night. it&#039;s not a miracle pill and i still feel down sometimes and happy at others, but overall i don&#039;t get super down like i used to. in conjunction with the other psychiatric medicine i am on, it helps to keep me stable and helps me deal with a very serious disease that i came down with about 3 years ago that has completely turned my world upside down."
