I took this med as directed, I slept for 15 minutes and was up all night again, it has not done a thing for me, I am at my wits end, nothing has helped me and I seem to have my days and nights mixed up.

Have taken other sleeping meds, the newer ones, were useless. Oh well, just not good with meds....

This was my (former) doctor's last stab at a sleep aid for me (he seemed really dead set against benzodiazepines). It worked OK at first but stopped working very quickly. Also, I was not able to take it with a full glass of water as directed, because tat would waken me in the night, going to the bathroom.

Chloral hydrate is a old timer drug that works with me since I dont want to take barbituates. I have Mania bi polar I,with anxiety. New meds like lumina and sonata dont work nor do benzodiazapines. If a sleeper doesnt work I recommend this to you.There is no physical withdrawl I have found,used it 4 years, went without it ,never had withdrawl of any kind.

They were not parents. This drug has helped me sleep most of the time, unfortunately I also have to take it to calm down after a very hard setion w/ my therapist or reliving something in my own home. Anyone who has PTSD is in for a horrible rollercoaster ride and needs support. It is essential. Outside support by a compassionate,understanding and qualified/experienced therapist or psychologist is a MUST. Do not go it alone. Use great books, like Courage to Heal by Ellen Bass. Know others are out here and will hold your hand-I am.
