Advice & Tips
Ugh, the cherry taste (it's a sublingual med) is horrendous, though I was told the original unflavored was even worse. Hard to imagine! =) That said, it actually helps me sleep better than the trazadone because it doesn't seem to cause the bizarre lucid dreams that trazadone gives me.

Advice & Tips
Though the taste is horrible, this is honestly the best psychiatric medication I have ever taken. It has nearly eliminated all of my schizophrenic symptoms including visual and auditory hallucinations, paranoia, racing thoughts, and disorganized thoughts, speech and behavior - Just to name a few. I have never felt better since I've been on this, and it works quickly if you need an emergency dose - in about 10 minutes I can feel a difference. I highly suggest you try this medication. The side effects are nearly non-existent.
