    I have been taking this medicine for about 2 months. My doctor prescribed it to me to treat anxiety. The first week I had many sleepless nights, but I felt better during the daytime.

    I was taking this medication for lack of sleep and migraine headaches/irritability. Everything was great for a few days other than being slightly disoriented, but that soon got worse and also had negative thoughts like loved ones passing away all the time. I stopped immediately after reading side effects. I will never take it again.
