[QUOTE="klmno, post: 253233, member: 3699"] My understanding is pretty much what you described- it is more effective when depression is a bigger issue than mania, but it is a MS and does help with both. But, given that it was started on my son when he was cycling more on the upper end of the spectrum and it made him worse (increased mania symptoms), I have wondered if it's effectiveness has something to do with what cycle, if any, the person is in when the medication is started. I have heard others on the board have had wonderful experiences with it. I would try it again for my son if the need arised and he was in a depressive state and we could wean him off lithium without a catastrophy. [/QUOTE]
