Hi Mande, welcome. I am borderline and bipolar. I am on Depakote for the mood swings and Lexapro for the borderline.
I've tried almost all the SSRIs that are out there. Effexor, Prozac and now this are the best so far. Buspar, Celexa, Serazone, Paxil, Zoloft did nothing to help.
I understand about cutting the pain out also. Hope any of the above helped.
Take care.
Mary Alice
