This has been a miracle drug for me! As long as I stay on it, I am pretty much free to live a normal life, free of psychosis...recently required tweaking!
Meds seem to work for a while then wear off after hes on them for a while.

This is only good for helpin him to sleep through the night as he use to only sleep for a couple of hours and think that it was time to get up and be on the go constantly. We have currently tired to up his dose to help calm him down durin the day now, but so far that has turned to crap as well. Infact it has made him worst. I am trying to seek other medication help. Since being on this medication as well he has put on alot of weight.
