Since I started taking 600mg nightly to control my bouts of rage I have gained 20 pounds (in 2 months), I am always constipated, drowsy, and have been having more vivid nightmares. I am no longer getting adequate sleep either.

On the plus side I don't have as many hallucinations, I don't feel like hurting people all the time, my paranoia is lessened, and my lows aren't nearly as low (don't have any highs anymore either though).

For me, this drug keeps me from doing bad things as a result of my condition. I'll take the bad with the good on this one.
