“i'm used to it now after 1-2 weeks but it's still new, and i sleep too much and i can sleep in work too, i'm tired in general, dizziness doesn't go away when taken for the next few hours but slowlyfades i actually started to like the alcohol-ish effect it gives, but it was a tease when it lasted all day, you'll get used to it if it's the right medication, i'm using it for bipolar disorder 400mg twice a day, the only side effect that's been bothering me too much is the sleep issue, no matter how much i sleep i still feel like i could sleep 2x times, double vision isn't much of a problem but it also could happen as a result of sleep issues”

Additional Drug Information
* Warning: The facts and figures contained in these reports are accurate to the best of our capability; however, our metrics are only meant to augment your medical knowledge, and should never be used as the sole basis for selecting a new medication. As with any medical decision, be sure to work with your doctor to ensure the best choices are made for your condition.
* About FAERS: The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) is used by FDA for activities such as looking for new safety concerns that might be related to a marketed product, evaluating a manufacturer's compliance to reporting regulations and responding to outside requests for information. Reporting of adverse events is a voluntary process, and not every report is sent to FDA and entered into FAERS. The FAERS database may contain duplicate reports, the report quality is variable, and many factors may influence reporting (e.g., media attention, length of time a drug is marketed, market share). For these reasons, FAERS case reports cannot be used to calculate incidence or estimates of risk for a particular product or compare risks between products.
