"so my experience with this medication is a good one.  i have tried just about everything for bipolar with schizoeffective features but this is the only thing that seems to keep me out of the hospital.  i don&#039;t overeat on this medication and i don&#039;t have hardly any side effects. i am currently taking 80mg at night and i seem to be getting quality sleep and feeling as good as you can feel with bipolar disorder the next day.  i don&#039;t give it a 10 because i still have some unusual thoughts but i have yet to take a medication that can completely take care of them or i think they are also called intrusive thoughts. if you read this i hope your experience with this medication will be as good as mine."
