Are you having issues with depression? It does a good job with this. When I first started it I believe it took about two weeks to pull me out of the deepest depression I had ever been in. The second depression was not near as bad just a slip from not having the meds for a week or so, then it took me about 4 or 5 days of taking them again to get it built back up in my system enough to take the depression away again. I believe these new meds they have come out with are great. Least side effects. Im doing really well with it so far. I sure hope it helps you too. Its supposed to help with mania as well. I havent had to deal with this side of it yet.
