I've seen it used (up close) for bi-polar agitation. It got rid of the agitation, but the cost was too high. That was a "therapeutic" dose, it was either too high, or its the med itself, but the result was loss of personality, apathy, and paranoia.

Not sure what a small dose would do, but I certainly wouldn't take it for every day agitation.

I think you will find much better choices on this board to run by your PDoc. IMHO. Hope that helps a little!
