Maybe you're just a kinder gentler person than I am, Bridgey. I think I was hostile before I started taking the Max and it just sort of brought it out in me, you know? But boy, did it ever. My pdoc told me it is supposed to calm me down--I'm still waiting. Different personalities respond to different drugs in different ways, like duh. And yes, it's really good that it works for you as a solo mood stabilizer--it's going to have to do that for me, too for awhile longer. All I was doing was quoting research that indicate it isn't always effective on its own, and you know how results change with different studies. I don't think it's doing very well for me, but I may be at too low a dose which is why I'm creeping up toward 400. Crabbily, I might add, two weeks into 350.
I also couldn't remember how to write 2005 on a form this morning--crossed out several tries which took us way back into the last century before it finally dawned on me. Little things.
But it will get better.rainy
