I don't feel like this does anything but make me sleepy.

Does this help anyone emotionally?

It helped me a lot but kept pushing my blood pressure sky high so I can't take it. Too bad because it was good stuff.

I took it for over a year. I had to stop because it swelled up my hands and feet. That sucked because it worked well mood wise.

word in edgeways. Bees. cheers

It effects everyone differently. For one friend it kept her on even footing for years but her prolactin level went up and her menstruation cycle halted. Same happened to me. I think the doctor will prescribe aripiprazole to counteract it but that means two AP's not so good. But I didn't like it, and it did not combat my mood. And didn't have enough sedative properties. It does something to the bones as well in long term, weakens them. I would be wary.
