What I mean to say...I guess, is that people seem to say that it has no effect on mood stability or possible hypomanic symptoms when at low doses like this, that it only helps with sleep, anxiety.
It does slow me down, in the absence of it I am speeded up, but that could just be my body having gotten used to it.
It's the old is it the absence of the med and rebound effects or the resurgence of some "symptom" question.
sorry I'm confusing, it's just that I'm confused. ;-)
I am super ambivalent about taking this medication.
thanks,
