BipolarSpinster Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) So of all the gnarly possible side effects this drug can cause, I’m only really getting the dopey, foggy side of things, but a small price to pay given the benefits However! It’s definitely working as a mood stabilizer, as of this morning, I’ve lost 6 lbs in11 days, and I forgot to take my Xanax last night! ?. That. Was awesome! I take it at 5-6 am, instant calm mood, relaxed, no dread getting out of bed. It seems to somewhat start wearing off around 2ish in the afternoon, so I take my second dose then. Good for the rest of the day, til bedtime! So it’s seeming to work on my refractory mixed episode as an adjunct, and I could not be happier Just thought I’d share some good news finally. PS: Coffee tasting just as scrumptious! Edited June 14, 2018 by BipolarSpinster 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
