I think it is working. The day after I took 2 tablets, I decided not to take any at all because I was scared of the stuff. I had anxiety that day. So I thought...I'd take 1/2 a tablet. I felt more comfortable, so the next dose I took a whole tablet. Too loopy still. So even though the doc said to take 1-2 every 6 hours, I've decided that 1/2 tablet every 6 hours is much better. It's about 12.5 mg if I do it that way, which really isn't a lot at all. It might just be all in my head- a placebo. But whatever keeps me from freaking out over the tiniest things is good. I did notice that the med causes me to have bad dreams even with only 1/2 a tablet, so I don't like that. I used to never dream, much less have crazy dreams like aliens invading mexico, the world ending, and me beating the crap out of my kid. They are scary and depressing! I know you aren't supposed to experiment on your own, but I don't have a psychiatrist...so I'll just be careful.
