[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 494951, member: 8831"] its kind of weird the dr is making you split the pills--it does come in lower strengths (i think 1mg and 2mg). mine did ok on it, but mainly for possible auditory hallucinations (we'll never actually know for sure if she HAD them or not--personally i think it was a coping mechanism for stress overload) be prepared for him to be ravenous. mine gained a [I]ton[/I] of weight. it also seemed to me that mine constantly honeymooned on it...we were forever increasing her dose. she also had some cognitive dulling. she used at as a complete stand alone for almost 2 years. fortunately we got a new psychiatrist who had better ideas...we are currently in the process of weaning down/off it. but its a medication that definitely can be very useful-i hope it is for yours!
