Wasn't this a huge controversy years ago as pharmaceutical reps were touting this drug for possible use for Bipolar Disorder when studies were either not done indicating it was a good medication for this disorder or even falsified?

Perhaps anecdotally there has been some benefits?

I have taken it for nerve pain and put it on my list as one of those drugs to be taken if absolutely needed, low dose, for short periods of time only...in other words...a possibly helpful medication BUT one with lots of potential side effects.

Buspar sounds like a better choice. ????
