No I dont take it any more. I was taking it for my bipolar symptoms (hallucinations and mania) but it caused me to appear to be diabetic, and caused me to become dehydrated. it affected my appetite which is a bad thing because I have an eating disorder and I had a seizure with it, so I was taken off it. Im glad your doctors are closely monitoring it with you..
