"after numerous trials over the past 15 years i&#039;ve yet to find anything that had such a profound affect so quickly. i&#039;ve been taking effexor and 3 ativan per day to control extreme anxiety and depression. while it worked for some time, i recently started rapid cycling bipolar episodes. now im taking a small dose of lithium and just added gabapentin.....the lift was immediate after the first dose......woke up feeling good for the first time in a long time. today was the same. if this continues, ive found the wonder cure."
