you`re probably still pissed at me for my thoughts on derealization, but you asked so i will say something as i have extensive experience on this drug.
it made me irritable as hell, mainly just on the first day, and was quite sedating. it did nothing for derealization to me at all. it was pretty good for OCD/anxiety and ODD/hyperactivity, didn`t do a whole lot for tics, and like a lot of people on it i became more depressed. withdrawal is a *real* bitch, too--anxiety, vommitting, goose-bumps, very bad irritability, and most people experience that as well. it also gives many people nightmares.
by and large, taking my experience and the experiences of the three other people i know who have taken it for neuro/psychiatric symptoms, it isn`t a great drug--the only person i`ve heard say she thought it was great was using it for heroin withdrawals.
