It worked well for my depression but nearly three months in I got severe stomach problems that were found to be caused by the med so I had to stop it immediately. This sudden stop sent me into hypomania, then mania, then mixed with psychosis. However, I have always been very sensitive to starting and stopping meds so this would probably be a rare reaction. The stomach problems are not rare though. Make sure you eat when you take it. I really hope it works out for you.
