I have never heard of that new medication. I too had problems with Abilify (it increased my sugar levels) and wellbutrin (made me manic). I am so leery of new medications because they don't have a history of how well they work. Sometimes it's big pharma pushing their samples onto the doctor and too many are apt to prescribe them. I am on Prozac, Lamictal, Xanax & Atenolol, and I fought to get back on these meds. I was sick of trying all the new ones and the side affects, etc. Stand up for yourself and tell your doctor how you feel - sometimes we have to take charge ourselves. Good luck
