Its used off label as a mood stabilizer.  Does an amazing job at destroying your appetite.... helping lose weight :)...... but.

KILLS your vocabulary (AKA 'dopamax")  affects 'word finding' ability...  very frustrating.

 I dont take this anymore, and I dont think it helped that much anyway.... Lamictal used very much the same has been better for me
