Puts me to sleep but stops the immediate hallucinations.

seraphi (Depression)
2.5mg Mood swings were the worst. I had them to the point that it would seem like one long manic episode where I could control nothing. i would react wrong or over react to any situation.Only side effect was that if I take the larger 5mg dose I seem to have the same symptoms as if I wasnt taking it at all. My doctor seemed to think it was odd and I decided to keep to a smaller dose.

It does make me sleep through the night. I started getting headaches more often than I ever have. I plan to talk to the doctor about that.
