"i started taking ability 15mg on june 17th and now its june 25th so i&#039;ve been on it for 8 days.  on the 17th i was admitted into a mental hospital because of my bipolar and extreme anxiety.  i&#039;m taking it at night along with:

divalproex(depakote)750mg, hydroxyzine(vistaril)50mg, trazodone(desyrel)50mg, and clonazepam(klonopin)1mg

it seems to be helping me along with the other medications.  so far i dont think i&#039;ve had any side effects, knock on wood.  i definitely recommend this medication if you have bipolar but make sure you take it also with a mood stabalizer.  if you take it alone it can cause severe side effects."
