This helps somewhat with my psychotic thoughts and behaviors. I recently raised the dose from 1mg to 2mg and this might be why I am experiencing more depressive symptoms than usual.

Still on a small dosage of this. It worked but made feel fogged out a bit and on the higher dosage I felt very sedated.

So far I like it not many side effects at all. I am on 1mg cause she want to start really slow cause I have kids and need to wake if they need me.
