"i take this 20 mg a day along with carbamazepine  (tegratol/equetro). the two medicines together really make me feel &quot;normal&quot;. i don&#039;t feel like a zombie. i feel a bit of euphoria on this. this is a good thing, but i can see how that can make some people become dependant on it. however, i feel great on this. i feel a tiny bit tired but i&#039;m not sure if it is one of my meds or my 3 kids tiring me out. otherwise,  no major side effects. maybe some issues with vaginal dryness but lubricant helps. doesn&#039;t kill my libido the way some antipsychotics can."
