Taken for 5 to 10 years
January 24, 2023

"This drug saved my life and my marriage. I started with 100 mg and over time increased to 800 mg/day. I had some rough side effects for the first year or so (gastrointestinal, painful joints, and insomnia mainly). Now I still have some difficulty with recalling words, which is embarrassing but does not interfere with my job. However, it’s all been worth it because Equetro quickly stopped the bipolar 2 misery that plagued me for decades before I was diagnosed. It has brought me peace and stopped out-of-control spending and eating. My savings grew and my weight fell (100 pounds lost in 5 years). Equetro keeps mania under control, but it does not fix depression (just makes it less bad), so I also take 450 mg/day of Wellbutrin for that. Regardless of the side effects (which mostly go away over time), it is totally worth it and gave me my life back."

"Second week, definitely feeling better. Weight is stable. Curbs my appetite, couple bouts of blurred vision, but overall good. Back to psych doctor next week. Will see where dosage goes. Hoping to have this permanent and drop Seroquel."

"I have taken a lot of medicines and hated all of them, or they didn't work for me. This one actually works, but my sex drive, well, I have none now, and that in turn makes me depressed, so I think my doctor's going to have to try something else."
