[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 194538, member: 3444"] No experience with it. Just have read that it requires careful monitoring because it can build to toxic levels in the body. The medical community believes it actually has neuroprotective properties and can actually help the brain heal itself. It has been regarded as the gold standard for BiPolar (BP) for years. I think that because of the monitoring required and some of the side effects (weight gain, tremor, potential for kidney damage), doctors tend to look at the newer medications available that are more tolerable. But I don't know how much of that is driven by the pharmaceutical companies, Know what I mean?? [/QUOTE]
