I have heard it's a good drug. I have also heard it tastes yucky, but hang in there and give it a chance. I'm sure there will be others around that have taken it that will add some information about it for you. Good luck.

"Knowledge is the antidote to fear." - Ralph Waldo Emerson -

I stole this from someone else in one of these forums - but it fits! ;)


I am the mother of a 21 year old BP daughter (whom at the moment, I say is "in remission" with the help of Lithium, biweekly therapy for 4.5 years, and an intensive outpatient course of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).)
