    Took around 10am. Became drowsy and dizzy. Shortness of breath. Difficulty breathing. This is going to be discarded. Not worth it. I would have rated it a zero.

    Prescribed for my back...Makes me extremely sleepy..can not take it during the day, I can not function on this medicine during the day so I just take it at night time. Helps my back...I've got bulging disc and my sciatica nerve with neuropathy is pretty painful but I dont want to be on pain pills so this works fine.

    I have been in this medication for 15 years. The worst thing I’ve found is the dry mouth. Biotine works well to solve this.
