I was skeptical of it at first like you, mostly because it's labeled for epilepsy and bipolar, not depression/anxiety. Plus that rash warning. My pdoc is actually upping my dose right now and we are going veeeeery slowly to prevent side effects.

It's nice to hear you're seeing a difference and have been prescribed the medicine for the same reason as me.

I am checking with pdoc to see if I can start lower than 25mg to ease in slowly. Then if I do have an adverse reaction I won't have so much in my system, at least that is my plan but have to wait to hear from pdoc.
