Depression
"I was put on this medicine very aggressively (200mg, quickly upped to 400mg) after a suicide attempt. As an antidepressant it is more effective than the first line medications like citalopram. And will help with sleep and a lack of hunger. However I absolutely hate the side effects.

It is often said that antipsychotics &quot;steal your soul&quot; or act like a &quot;mental prison&quot;. I would have to agree. To begin with this was fine, with severe depression I was happy to take any way out. However after about 6 months of this I decided enough was enough.

Now I&#039;m off it my personality is back."
