I live in the USA and this is only used in the UK, So I have no real knowledge of it. It states its uses are for Schizophrenia and Psychosis ( Most Bipolar and Schiz meds are cross overs , meaning they can treat both... Did your Doctor not explain the medication and discuss side effects ?
Hopefully a fellow UK person will see this thread and have personal expierence.
Good luck I hope this med helps you
