    I am on my second week with this medication. Perhaps this isn't long enough. I find that I am having mood swings. Dr. never said I was bipolar. Since adding it to my other meds at night I am sleeping solid but have a hard time shaking it off in the morning.

    I am on this and a combination of 4 other drugs. It's the best thing i have been on yet. I dont feel so overwhlemed by my emotions or just rage out over little things. I feel normal i have energy and am sleeping much better. I think it works great.

    I have been on this med for about 2 mos. Have not seen any improvement, in fact, symptoms seem to be increasing. It is very easy to use and does not leave an after taste, however, don't feel benefit is worth continuing.
