Bipolar Disorde
"I&#039;m Bipolar 1 Rapid Cycling &amp; also have ADD; this medication saved my life. I have been on it for a year now (along with a cocktail of others, I am BP 1, let&#039;s be realistic) titrating from 5 mg to 30 mg all at night. I was in constant mixed states, I couldn&#039;t control my impulses, my anxiety and paranoia were through the roof and I was unemployed - leaving the house, let alone working wasn&#039;t an option. I work fulltime now in a professional environment, back on my career track. My mood is stable, and for once in my 15 year diagnosis I can say I&#039;m stable.  Side effects take time to pass, and some never go away, for me, its AM daily muscle pain for 90 mins. I haven&#039;t been able to touch a drop of liquor, not even a sip of beer; I prefer sanity."
