Bipolar Disorde
"My doctor prescribed it off label two months ago for my treatment-resistant unipolar depression. I noticed a marked increase in energy level and decrease in suicide ideation within a week of starting, and I&#039;m fairly sure it isn&#039;t a placebo effect. Side effects are minimal compared to the many SSRIs and SNRIs I&#039;ve been on previously (among other things, no weight gain).

So far, so good, but because it&#039;s off label it isn&#039;t covered under my insurance plan. We&#039;re hoping that changes before my doctor runs out of samples."
