For what it's worth, it is the only drug that ever flipped me into hypomania. I wasn't on a mood stabilizer at the time (just Paxil before getting the proper diagnosis). However, I was only on a small dose...100-125? It was a while ago though, so I don't remember the exact dose. I also have more than one friend/family member who didn't like it due to increased anxiety.
On the other hand, I have read reports online of people who like it for increased energy when they are depressed.
Best,
EJ
