Dewey Blaese –
This is a better medication for my bipolar disorder. Side effects are minimal, got a few rashes on the first week but it just went away. I noticed that it makes me dehydrated but it’s not much of a big deal if you drink a lot of water. It doesn’t work well with alcohol, gives me chills and quivers, so I skip taking them when I know I’m going to drink. Minimizes the trembling.
