I've been taking it off and on for about 13 years. It helps with the nerve pain I developed after being forced off benzos.

He put me on as a type of Mood Stabilizer. I've been diagnosed with BP2 and BPD. I have no nerve pain. Only emotional. Did you notice any side effects?

It might be contributing to horrible tinnitus I have but I'm not sure. Otherwise, initial dizziness, blurred vision, and I'm not sure what else.

I've been taking it for seven years. It helps me sleep.

Years ago a sleep expert put me on this. I didn't get any major side effects, but no help either so I quit taking it. Everyone reacts differently.

It was decent for my anxiety at 600mgs. It has a huge dosage range. I had some anxious withdrawals coming off of it. It's mild but certainly worth trying.

I am on 800 mgs and it doesn't do a thing for me. I've only been taking it for a month. It is not a mood stabilizer. It is for nerve pain and is also used for anxiety, especially social anxiety. Like Moogieotte said, there is a HUGE dosage range - anywhere from 100mg -3,600mg per day. I'm sure my pdoc will increase it but I don't think I'll bother. If there is that big of a range, I doubt the true therapeutic benefit. So far I haven’t had any side effects but like I said, it hasn’t effected me at all. Sorry if this reply sounds rude. I have been thinking about this drug today before I saw your thread and was already annoyed about it.
I hope it serves its purposed for your needs! |

I take it for anxiety. At 600mg I get sleepy but other times I have no side effects.
