but it works backward so 15 would actually slow you down more. I had a lot of patients who took 7.5 as a substitute for sleeping pills because it is so much more sedating at low doses.

i know that's weird but it's something strange about the drug. It was the only AD that worked for me without making me manic before I was diagnosed so I got to know it pretty well. It's one of the meds that I've taken longest out of all the pile of meds I've been on. In fact for me it actually seemed to work as a mood stabilizer to some extent. But anything less that 45 mg and I was completely knocked out. on 45 mg I could function and was only a little sleepy and on 60 it didn't sedate me much at all.

I don't understand how it works but I know it does work that way.
