I had brilliant mood elevations after each dose-escalation (25 and 50mg), which were well worth the sleepiness the drug caused.
Unfortunately, after reaching steady doses, the drug began to be counteproductive. I went down to equilibrium, and then down farther. ...And a cognitive slowing gradually started, too. One of my most disappointing meds.
However, I've read other stories of people who've had success with it. Consensus is that the rash is very rare, and that you can get increased AD effect up to 200 or 240mg. Most people seem to write that it's pretty good on side-effects, though I've read of others who needed dose-escalation for any mood benefit, like me.
My pdoc at the time said he'd had considerable success with it at low doses. Seems worth trying. to me.
