anxiety and stress
"Well my diagnosis is hard to explain... The doctor says that I'm bipolar but in all actuality I'm on a bad high.  I'm always extremely hyper (or anxious) but have all the symptoms of depression! I have  lack of concentration and I am not able to keep things in my head straight,  like starting one thing before finishing the other.  I am now on day 12 of 20mg and almost instantly I could tell a difference when I started talking it. But mind you  I'm also on deprekote and at the same time he upped that dosage by 500mg!  But I'm so much calmer now and I am feeling so much better. And I'm in this for the long haul. The side affects were very minimal for me, out of 12 days just two days my stomach has hurt but the others I really felt very full ."
