bipolar disorde
"I started taking this medication about a year after I'd been on bupropion with no lessening of depression.  After 6 months on oxcarbazepine minimum dosage I stopped drinking.  Had to increase dosage to 900 mg/day (I'm one who really doesn't like having to take medicines). I've been clean/sober for 18 months and tried to get off both medicines mentioned in a week.  Nearly relapsed so went back to former dosages.  Doctor suggested reducing dosage of bupropion over a year.  I decided to stay on full dosage unless I lose my job/insurance.  No more suicidal thoughts or that feeling like my brain is going down a dirt road.  I'm not sure I'd label myself bipolar, but this does seem to help, a lot."
