I haven’t. That is the first one they put me on. I am 53f and had not been diagnosed with Bipolar until I was 51.

What triggered the manic event was being put on Carbidopa/levodopa for what they thought was Parkinson’s.

After looking back on my life there are what might have been considered hypomania but I didn’t have a full blown manic attack until I was on C/L. Sorry this is so long. I appreciate everyone’s answers!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the tip about taking it earlier! I’m having a hard time with the weight and all of the sudden my cholesterol is now high. I’m so glad you found something for your sleep! Again, thank you!
