It evens me out, but the insomnia is a little troubling.
Working / Worked
It has and is working. It has turned me from a withdrawn, anti-social, run-of the-mill psychotic into what I like to call a "norm". Highly recommend you try it. Gained some weight, sometimes dizziness and loss of balance but who cares?...I can function again.

This drug at a low dosage of 15mg once at night has been very effective for me. Helps me stay organized lifts my depression and has few side effects. However its has a high price tag.
