Maybe I should have asked in the psych meds part of the forum, but I wanted to ask specifically bipolar people about this med. I did a forum search and the most recent info is from 2015. Since then it's easier to get and most insurance covers it, so I'm hoping for more info.

The main thing I'm scared about is IF it can cause or worsen anxiety or mania. I've been taking it for a couple of weeks now. It seems to make me think clearer, but I'm feeling very nervous, irritable, and jittery. It's also giving me the mother of all headaches. Does these feelings get better or go away after a while? I know some meds are hard getting used to.

I started out at 100mg and after week went to 200mg. The 200 was unbearable so I've gone back to 100.

If anyone has any experience with this med, I would really appreciate any feedback.
