Even so, others may need to go slow. At some point, 60mg might be a goal to shoot for, but not to start with. We're all different, but as a bipolar, I can't imagine it. And definitely a mood stabilizer on board.

I had to drop to 40mg because my blood pressure was up a little. I think this probably would not be a good drug for bipolars as a monotherapy, but in conjunction with a mood stabilizer (I take Trileptal), I think it could be helpful for many.
