"i found this medication helpful with reducing hypomanic symptoms - mainly i took it to control episodes of violent rage which it did. it gave me tachycardia so i had to discontinue. 
my problem with this medicine is that it has changed my body permanently (so far - it&#039;s been 3 yrs). i was one of those people who could eat whatever i wanted, exercise, not exercise - i never gained weight. now i&#039;m carrying an extra 10 kgs which i am not happy about. i can&#039;t get rid of it.
