I'm was using it, but I'm also, idk. Because as far as I can tell, there's very limited resources for alchemy, so you have to really plan ahead what potions you want and when to use them. To the point, I'm now doing the exact same thing I do in every other RPG, which is hoarding them to no end and never using them because, and sing it with me now, "I might need it later". Who knows if later comes. Very real chance I beat the game with a crap tone of ingredients and potions just sitting about.
Poisons, haste, and spell recovery potions are a godsend for me. Every medium to large encounter my melee characters are coating a blade or staff after they run out of attacks.
I was the same hoarder though. When I noticed my potion pouch was 30% of my encumbrance I split those guys up and started chugging.
