Incredibly effective...if you have a pdoc, lab (frequent bloodwork required), and pharmacy who can all work with each other to actually get you your prescription when you need it which for me never happened, and I kept getting fed up with driving all over the place and making at least 3 calls to the pharmacy and lab for each pick up. Oh, and around here very few pharmacies actually stock it.

Side effects were similar to Zyprexa. Sleep and eat.

Would take temporarily again (don't like blood work and don't like sleeping and eating) if the system weren't so hard to navigate.

Pretty cheap if I remember correctly.
