the best for me so far. it was the first think i was prescribed to deal with bipolar and it really helped me stay together. i went non-compliant though and my life went to *@!& so i'm back on it now and i don't know if it's doing much good yet. i'm cycling and that scares me, but i'm hoping i'll level out and it'll be an effective treatment for me in the long run.
