Hi Ritch,
I had some skin sensations when I first started, but it was kind of like a heated feeling. It went away. As long as you go up slowly you should be fine.I increased another 50mgs today and feel good. Kind of numb but that's better than the pain of depression. I definitely get an anti anxiety effect. Just feel calmer. I like that feeling as I tend to be hypervigilant as a result of an extremely tulmutuous childhood that included physical and emotional abuse. I think we're probably a bit overconcerned at the idea of being susceptible to side effects. The amount of people who have adverse skin reactions is actually pretty small and like I said your risk is greatly reduced by starting in low doses.
I'm actually very interested in knowing how many people diagnosed with Bipolar suffered from abusive childhoods? Anyone have any information on that?
