I am in fact bipolar and not unipolar depressive. It was sheer hell, and I am amazed I didn't kill myself. It _did_ do lovely things for my physical pain, but when I went off of it I experienced a terrible rebound pain each night for several days. I cried myself to sleep.

I wish I did work for me. Would be nice to shake the chronic pain.
