At first I went a little hyper, then I levelled out. I've not had the huge black moods since, though I'm still a little prone to depression. I haven't been manic since I've been on it. Rather than making me feel drugged up, it helps me feel "normal." I really like it, it's worked very well for me. Hope it works well for you too.

WOW! THANK YOU FOR SHARING UR STORY WITH ME. I WAS SCARED IN THE BEGINNING BECAUSE MY DOCTOR STARTED DECREASING LITHIUM(FROM 2 TO 1) IN MY "DIET" AND INCREASING THE NEW ONE(I STARTED WITH 50MG), BUT I STARTED TO FEEL REALLY HYPER. I CALLED MY DOCTOR TWICE WITHIN 2 MONTHS TAKING IT. I FELT MY BRAIN VERY CLEAR, VERY ALERT, BUT REALLY HYPER, WITH TOO MUCH ENERGIES. THEN, MY DOCTOR PUT ME IN 100 MG AND 1 LITHIUM 300MG UNTIL NEXT TIME I GET TO SEE HER. I AM PRAYING THIS MEDICATION WILL MAKE IT. MOST OF THE TIMES I GET MANIC, I HAVE NOT MUCH DEPRESSION PROBLEMS. I ONLY GET DEPRESS WHEN THEY TRY TO TAKE ME OUT FROM THE MANIC STAGE. THANK U AGAIN FOR UR RESPOND, U RENEWED MY HOPE AND FAITH ON MY NEW "PARTNER"......GOD BLESS U AND BE SAFE!!!!!
