"i was diagnosed with bipolar ii (with very few manifestations of depression) so mostly problems with mania. i started on 5mg at night for a week then went up to morning and night doses of 5mg. i did that for 2 days as the day time doses made me feel restless, uncomfortable, edgy, weird and sedated. i couldn&#039;t stand it and would count down the time before it would wear off. then i tried taking 10mg at night but then i couldn&#039;t sleep. i would wake up exhausted for the 4th time in a night. went back to just 5mg at night and this had little to no effect. i worried about weight gain but i lost weight- helped that i was extra cautious about what i ate. if &#039;increased appetite&#039; is listed i take extra measures with exercise and diet to stay healthy."
