Answer 1

Generally you start by taking 150 mgs for the first 3 days. Then it is increased to 300mgs (one pill in morning and one in the evening). It does work, but you need to be patient, it doesn't work over night.

Answer 2

I've been taking medications for YEARS for my manic depression and I'm finally free of them something that helps me a lot is exercise.

"more than 150 studies show that exercise reduces depression and anxiety. not only is exercise about as effective as drugs, some research suggests it better prevents symptom recurrence. Vigorous exercise provides a "substantial" mood boost and even a 10 minute walk can stimulate up to two hours of increased well being by raising energy levels and reducing tension.

In a 2002 Gallop survey those who did not exercise were twice as likely to report being "not too happy"
