Cam, I have been wondering about this drug. My husband is now taking it and I thought it may be a help for me as well.

I've been diagnosed with BPD, but I also have some traits of being bi-polar as well. My pdoc can't seem to figure out what would work best, I usually bring med names up to him.

I have been having severe mood swings and depression. Extreme restlessness and sitting still plus I am constantly thinking that people are talking about me or that I am seeing spiders (bugs) walk across things. I blink and realize that nothing is there.

Anyone with any suggestions? I am also taking Xanax as needed, but usually don't bother with it. Neurontin I am on for my leg. I've tried almost every SRI there is and need something different. Effexor is the med right now, 50 mg. 3x a day.

Thanks.

Mary Alice
