This is my second time on this medication for more than a year each time. I take it a little off label (yes for depression but also for sleep disorder) because it makes me fall asleep, so I take it at night. I sleep well and then can get up and stay awake the net day rather than being sleepy all the time.This med worked well at first, but after about 2 years I noticed that I was having side effect ...

This is my second time on this medication for more than a year each time. I take it a little off label (yes for depression but also for sleep disorder) because it makes me fall asleep, so I take it at night. I sleep well and then can get up and stay awake the net day rather than being sleepy all the time.This med worked well at first, but after about 2 years I noticed that I was having side effects including suicidal thoughts and "losing words" as I would try to talk. I went back on it a little over a year later because my doctor found out I was falling asleep at work. I need to find a better sleep med that does not have so many other side efects (joint pain, disorganized thoughts, and many more).) I would suggest researching several options before trying it, use it only as a Last Resort!

My experience with this treatment has not been long, 5 days to be exact. I didn't think that I would notice a difference for at least a week, but the side effects were so horrible yesterday. I knew right away that it was from this drug because my thoughts were so strange. It started with crying, anger, and then I started feeling rage. I believe most people that know me would say that I am a ni ... Show Full Comment

I knew right away that it was from this drug because my thoughts were so strange. It started with crying, anger, and then I started feeling rage. I believe most people that know me would say that I am a nice person, but not yesterday. My head felt like it was in a vice grip. I suffer from panic attacks, but I would rather go through them then make my family suffer with these mood swings.

i have been taking the generic form 150 b.i.d.. for over a year and recently ran out,called doc for refill and it took 6 days for an office call to pharmacy partly due to a holiday weekend. Long story short: On or about the 4th day it occurred to me that many of my symptoms seemed to have lessened markedly and i would also say that i never personally thought the drug was helping me. The exreme head and neck sweating/nightsweats,too, just stopped(i always thought it was a narcotic drug i was taking), the stomach pains went away, the body aches all but stopped, the nausea dissipated, and the dry mouth subsided. also, constipation resolved. I did pickup the refill but have not taken for two weeks and am going to ask doc for something different. Of all of these, the sweating and stomach pains were the worst. It has to have been this drug. So glad i accidentally got off for several days because i would have continued my miserable existance blaming all this on a narcotic. i feel so much better and can't believe one little pill can create so much misery. jeannette in florida
