oops I tried to post something back to you but goofed. I live in the U.S. and docs here prescribe it with SSRI's regularly. It's too bad they don't do that in the UK. I'd like to get on 100-150MGS/day to help with some of the dopamine problems I've been experiencing. Also I'm a light/moderate smoker and if it can help me quit, and all abotu it! I'm going to ask around the board for input on it. It may also help with these periodic bouts of depression and anxiety I go through. They're wierd, they last 2 to 3 days then head out the door. I call in unipolar cycling because I'm not having any hypomanias right now, just that. are trhere and APs you've taken that don't cause akathisia for you? I wish there was one out there that had a solidlong lasting anti-anxiety effect.
