I'm off it. I was on it for 7 years. It was always frustrating for me because it worked well but was really tricky. My body refused to reach therapeutic levels until I was tried on the newly released ER form. Then it turned out that my levels would still start to drop after a while and we'd have to bump up the dose. Then we realized that my level needed to be higher than average, more like 125 so we were then chasing that higher dose. By the end I was on 3200 mg and combining it with Seroquel and routine Ativan and when I finally was able to start coming off of it I was pretty happy. But it did work for me, it just had an attitude with me that got annoying.
