i took a 50mg pill and i felt so SLOW and not like myself.... I am a "talker" and when i took it, I didn't want to talk to anyone... and my heart was pounding out of my chest.... it was ridiculous. I also looked up what it was used for and I saw that it was used for schizophrenia and bipolarmania.... I do not have either of those. Perhaps this is why it didn't work for me. i really don't know.
A nurse practitioner gave me some samples of it for withdrawal from alcohol. To help with shakes and anxiety. I think it was 20mg? It did calm me down and helped me sleep. But I never took it regularly.

I am taking 900 mgs and I am taking it for anxiety also. I was put on it after going thru detox from xanax and alcohol and when I first started taking it I was on 300 mgs and slowly built my dosage up to 900 and in the beginning I felt zoned out all the time but after my body got used to it that zone out feeling went away, I have been taking it for about 3 months and the only side effecy that is bothersome to me is I have gained weight since taking it. Does anyone elso of this problem w/weight gain?
