My boyfriend was put on this med a week ago at 3/25mg. He is to finish his supply then up the dosage. Just wondering if anyone suffered severe headaches from it. I see a slight difference in his mood swings but NOTHING significant,how long will it take??

I have been on this medication for a little over two months for bipolar depression. It has really worked with controlling the mood swings and my depression. But I am not happy with the weight gain... I have never had a problem wit my weight till I started this med. But sense starting it I have gained about 25 lbs in two months.

I have rapid cycle bipolar disorder. I have been taking the 6/50mg and it seems to help a little but not to the extent I need it to. I am going to up the dose and see what happens.

I have been on a little of everything and this medication did not make me sick like the others or seem to make me eat as much as most other meds for bipolar. I am a very rapid cycler and have had ECT with success. I don't have long periods of depression as before but do have alot of irratability and anger. I am hoping that the increase in symbyax will help resolve these issues without having to add other medications.

I take 6mg/25mg 3 hrs before bedtime and it helps me sleep at night. At first it helped keep my mood swings under control 3 months or more now its not working so much... but am still sleeping well at night. Insurance wouldn't cover it so it cost about 400$ a month!! I also have went from 112 pounds to now 5-6 months later 150 pounds!
