"love this medication.  i take it with two other mood stabilizers, an antidepressant, and another when required antipsychotic.  this works wonders.  i do not get tired on it and i typically take 600mg, i have gone up to 1000mg before when needed.  definitely chills me out.  i do not get akathisia on this one, like i do all the other antipsychotics.  overall just wonderful.  if you have had issues with akathisia before on other medicines, this would be the one to try."
