Used to treart schitzophrenia in much higher (300 plus mg a day) doses, in PWPa small (about 12.5 mg) controls most psychiatric symptoms -- especially paranoia and mania. 2. It is a benzodiazepine (valium-like) drug and promotes sleeping. The down side: 1. It can be hard o the WBCs and requires every other week blood sampling (a CBC) 2. Some people cannot take it because it sedates to the point where they stop breathing. Overall revaluation: A good drug for PWP. Regards, WHH 55/19
