Alcohol reduction/mood stabilization results at 50 to 100mg total per day?

Hey all,

I've been having a lot of side effects. I was at 50 mg 2x/day but may need to go down due to side effects. For people who are on similar doses for similar reasons (alcohol/mood stabilization/appetite), what has your experience been? Was there a dose where you noticed more or less side effects?

I'm finding it really difficult to do anything but I don't want to just give up on a medicine without giving it an honest shot. I have an appointment tomorrow so I'm trying to get some thoughts for that. I feel pretty spaced out and keep having to go take naps. Can't focus and put my thoughts together. I accomplished more drunk tbh. :/ Thanks.
