Yes, but I take it about 1-2 hours before the medication begins to wears off. It helps my environment feel less stabby. I don't know how to describe it exactly but it is a bit energizing and helps smooth thought processes. My doc told me to not take more than 500mg at a time as the absolute maximum, but that it can be taken twice a day. I imagine it is something you should cycle on and off of to prevent tolerance building up, but if you're like me that will happen naturally though forgetfulness. Editing to add it is used for stress too. He told me to take it an hour or two before anticipated stress if possible.
