I used to take a little bit of it as part of my regimen to abort migraine attacks (it has this effect), but stopped in order to reduce my risk of TD to which I am otherwise predisposed. But if the med works great for you, congrats!

I was on it, and it was really effective for psychosis and mania, but I couldn't tolerate the side effects and I felt flat. Really flat.

I was on it and many other meds when I was younger. I had severe reactions to it. My blood pressure was too low and I had stiffness in my neck. Awful drug!
