Seem to make stimulatory behavior worsen.

This works wonders even at my small dose of .5mg twice a day. Again, weight gain is the biggest side effect which for me did taper off eventually. I have the option to take a 1mg dose when needed instead of the .5 and 1mg pill stops my mania/hypomania immediately! :)
