I've only been on it for about 2 weeks and I'm only taking 20mg of it. Today so far the anxiety and restlessness hasn't shown up at the time it normally would, so I feel a bit more hopeful in that regard.

I'm kind of worried about my sleep, though. I seem to wake up every hour or less. I took benadryl the other night and that helped me stay asleep, but I'm worried about having to take it every night.

I have no idea if it's been in my system long enough for it to alleviate any depression or if this is placebo but I have definitely felt less depressed, less suicidal, and have had fewer urges to SI.

I don't want to get off of it in case it really has been making a difference and this is the only med aside from lamictal that I can "afford" right now since I'm getting it for free.
