"on this for bpd and possible bipolar and anxiety helped my anxiety a lot after lorazepam and haliperidol stopped working. its a great medicine, saved my life. i take 25mg three times a day also helped with my anger and evened out my mood since depakote and lamotrigine wasn&#039;t working alone but i still take these hunger issues were a problem at first but depakote causes bad hunger too but glad to say its no longer a problem but they just don&#039;t knock me out even with the valium i take you&#039;d think i would just crash but nope 3-4am every day i fall asleep even though i take the pill at 8pm!!"
