To me it acts like an antidepressant and induces hypomanic symptoms. I have felt overactivated, anxious, and some insomnia for which I was told to take Benadryl. I am tapering down at the moment. I was disappointed because I thought it would get better with each successive increase. I knew early on, way before I hit 200mg, that I was not mellowing out at all. This is the mood stabilizer that works from below, the only one I believe. I am shocked to believe so many bipolar people respond well to this drug because it did not calm me down to any extent.
