Carbamazepine
"I have been on this medication for about 8 months now.  I started at a low dose 200mg a day and now I'm on 600 mg.  300mg in the morning and at night.  I find that it makes me sleepy but what doesn't.  I am not so sleepy that I cannot function just sleepy when I know I has a good nights sleep.  Anyway,  I am moody and my moods swing from very happy to super mad like many people with bipolar.  This helps we control that.  I does nothing for depression but it's not meant to.  The side effects are very mild."
