In what ways did this drug help you? I'm currently taking 3mg and it seems as if it may be making a slight difference, so I would like to increase the dosage. I'm taking it to help my racing thoughts, restlessness, and slight paranoia. does it help with these symptoms? also, can it help with anxiety/depression/social anxiety? thanks!

what all are you taking? and what are you diagnosed with? I'm bi-polar II depressed, OCD, and ADD. I'm on 400mg lamotrigine, 3mg risperidone, and 30mg lexapro. My next appt. I will probably substitute wellbutrin for the lexapro

It brought me back from the verge of a mental break several times and even snapped me out of full blown psychosis. but when I took it daily, i was near zombie-like, had no motivation, creativity or drive. So i took it only for instanced of extreme agiatation, mainly for the safety of those around me. I no longer take this drug.
