Comment:
My physician started me on this for insomnia - it seemed like it might help but was taking a few weeks plus I was having severe muscle spasms primarily in my legs and lower back. It made me worse and now I cannot sleep much at all. I slowly tapered off of it and now I cannot get any relief whatsoever.

I started at 50mg and it took me 36 hours to shake off the effect of this drug. I slept 24 hours straight.

Comment:
I was put on this for insomnia due to Ambien failing to work after so many years. This drug is strong enough to put a bear down. The side effects that I experienced were a very, very, very dry mouth, slurred speech (everytime I would speak), and always sleepy. I instantly had my doctor take me off. Never, ever again!!!!! I wasn't even able to function during the day.
