I was on 400 mg for years and had a side effect and had to stop it. I don't think it helped me in the least.

I have been taking 200mg for over three years and I have seemed to have done pretty well on it as my moods are mainly stable.

Yes, I take 225mg daily. It has definitely helped to stabilize my moods. Zero side effects.

I'm on the extended-release 75 mg. It seems to help me.

I love it!
 I have been tried on many meds for years. This med is the only med which stabilizes my mood without totally wiping me out. Good luck! I hope you find any med helpful to you soon.

I’ve been on 200 milligrams for 6 years and I’ve had just a few physical side effects with it that seem to have gone away. But it works great for my moods.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
