I know some people here were trying this one out, and I'm wondering how it's going for you. When I first read someone's thread about it a while ago I was really excited to hear some good news about atypicals, and I was thinking about talking to my pdoc about it.

So, how is it going for you? Side effects, effectiveness, anything weird, or just plain great?

Thanks!

I stayed on it for 2 weeks ..but tapered off because it wasnt allowing me to sleep ... For me if i dont sleep enough I will lose it and do stupid things .
I think it would be a great medication if your not having sleep issues .. It did give me more motivation ..but pushed me over the edge with the lack of sleep .

Everyone reacts differantly with medications ,,, I hope it works well for you .

Wishing you Peace and Love ~

Yes, I've needed to report in...I've been on it for two months now and am very pleased. My therapist pointed out the change first. My pdoc is still guarded by I am encouraged. Re: sleep, I have such bad insomnia I was also looking for help in the area. I found it very sedating taking it with my various 9 other meds in the morning. Changing it to 6 p.m. is better - like I don't give the day away. BUT it is not my magic bullet for sleep unfortunately.

Pluses for me: I feel calmer like the background "noise" is lowered. I am thinking clearer and more rationally. So I can tell my therapy is going well, like I'm more involved in it cause I feel better. Things that could be triggers or would have been just don't bother me as badly.

Those are my highlights and I hope for more. I wish you the best with this new one. I've read where others are stopping it. So that's the nature of meds - different for everyone. My situation could change as well. Hope not.
