Ive used many different medications to treat my emotional issues and every one of them had severe side effects that I couldnt handle. I did get swollen glands but they completely returned to normal when I took a week longer on 100 mg before moving to the 200 mg does.

I have bipolar I disorder. Been on it for over 3 months now. I should have seen some change in my moods by now. I see nothing. I guess I am a "nonresponder" I am taking 300mg. 225mg in the morning, 75mg at night. This med keeps me up at night so I have to take something to help me sleep. Too bad I have to take something else. No rash, no itchy spots, no hair loss, no other side effects.
