The brand here was very expensive. But one of the advantages of being so sensitive to medications is that we require less, so they are cheaper. I take about 1/50 of a 150mg pill three times a day. If I take more it sends me hypomanic. It can make me a little jumpy and if I take it too late it causes a little insomnia. I have to have a mood stabilizer on board, or it immediately sends me cycling. Right now I take Lamical and Zyprexa (as needed). I think it might also cause some weight loss in some people. It is excellent for my depression. Unfortunately, it has not been so good for anxiety.
