Well, you know, I find it to be an exceptionally clean drug that helps me steer clear of suicidality, much like Zyprexa, but without the weight gain and vague psychotropic effects.
I can understand how this drug could produce a nasty reaction in some people, though. Early in treatment, it can produce anxiety, agitation, insomnia, restlessness, and perhaps even true akathisia. This very often passes, though.
Sorry the drug didn't agree with you. What else are you taking?
