controls mood swings

This medication has abated many of my delusions although be forewarned it causes weight gain. I am now on my way to reducing it and because of my therapy I am better able to cope with symptoms of psychosis.

With this medicine I have seen less and heard less of what my mind wants me to believe. There were a lot of side effects that I experience on 3mg per day prescription like unwanted breast milk, muscle soreness, being tired all day long but not being able to get a good nights rest, loss of appetite. The first couple days when I took the medicine I looked flushed (my cheeks were red) and I was extremely dizzy. That wore off though and after two days I didn't experience that anymore.
I noticed a difference the morning after my son took the first pill. He is much calmer and seems to be able to consentrate a little better that when hes not on it.

Part of the night and day! Same miracle!
