Three and a half weeks at a mere 12.5mg , and already a vast improvement in equanimity/stability and mood; very 'normalizing', quite activating, but without (so far) any sign of bringing on my usual AD bane (agitation, erratic and angry mood-swings or 'mixed-states').
25mg feels stupefying (like overshooting a zoloft dose), so being highly med-sensitive, will stay at 12.5 for a while.
Can be difficult to grab some zzz's as it keeps the mind ticking over late at night- but positive thoughts are a rarity, so let's enjoy them!
One drawback-feel groggy , weak and uncoordinated for a day after exercise, but I'm sure I'll adjust to that.
Verdict:better results by far than with any of the numerous AD's tried, or depakote (or a very brief, unpleasant stab at lithium.)
Waiting for the current 'euthymia' to fade, but hoping it won't....Col.
