25mg was sedating for me as well. it took about a week for this to pass. i eventually got up to 100mg but became a zombie, went back down to 50mg.
i really liked this drug, was a poster child for it i suppose. i don't want to scare you - because this may not happen - but eventually i developed severe neck pain/immobility, a twitching lip, and my thumb began rolling on its own for three days going. yikes. i basically had parkinson's disease.
but some people can tolerate buckets of the stuff. i must say my mood stability was AWESOME on it. slept 8 hours/night, felt clear headed, stopped turning tricks for heroin (joking!)... no seriously, i could even write songs on this med.
now, well, i'm afraid of these atypicals, am skimping by on fish oil, zoloft, klonopin. the person who solves bipolar will receive - and massively deserve - the nobel prize imho.
supercreaky.
