It is so new, I'm not sure many insurances cover it.
In all fairness, I have to admit I have an intense interest in it. However, it is not offered in my neck of the woods, and I probably couldn't afford it if it was.

I haven't considered it. As far as I can tell it's not yet officially approved as a drug for bipolar, and it's primarily a sedative. Do you know what the effects on bipolar would be? In any case I'm kind of hoping to avoid more meds. With ECT at least I know it only targets my brain and doesn't have side effects on the rest of my body.
