"as far as i&#039;m concerned it&#039;s a miracle medicine for bipolar. a week and a half ago i was so bad off that i didn&#039;t want to live. my mother called my shrink at about 6pm, he called in a prescription, and i took 20mg at around 7pm. when i woke up the next morning i felt fine, and i&#039;ve pretty much been that way since. some of it may be due to the placebo effect, but i don&#039;t think a whole lot because such a dramatic improvement has never occurred when i&#039;ve started other medicines."
