Comment:
My allergist prescribed this for me for severe chronic hives. I don't think it is working. I still have hives. Been on it for one month and in that time I have gained 15 pounds and I am not happy about that. My diet and exercise have NOT changed. I would rather have hived than the weight gain. I am going to suggest to the allergist to take me off this med.

Hi, I know I am onlly 16, BUT I have been taking various medications for TONS of reasons since I was 4. I started taking this medication when it was administered to me in a psych ward for chronic nightmares/flashbacks. This medication stopped them the very first day of taking it. Thank God for Sinequan!

Very effective at calming and beginning the sleep cycle. No side effects at all. Now taking 150-200mg nightly. Lost 25 lbs from not doing nervous eating and getting better sleep.

I tried several times through the years to cut the dosage back
