I have been taking this drug, as needed, for several years. When I do take it, I divide the powder inside the 15mg capsule in half so that I am only taking half a dose. I do this because I find that with the full 15mg capsule I remain drowsy for several hours after getting 7-8 hours of sleep. I find myself using it only one or two times a week. I have also found that I dream much, much more when ... Show Full Comment

This drug - "unfortunately" at 2x15 - has been a life-saver for me. My nocturia is related to my MS and my sleeplessness (happy for 1 hour of continuous sleep (before having "need" for BR break - oftentimes with an empty bladder (hello multiple utis!) - for almost 5 years)) was gradually destroying me. Many things have been changing (who knew that sleep deprivation was so se ... Show Full Comment

Many things have been changing (who knew that sleep deprivation was so serious - :)?), but I truly fear "the tolerance" issue. Any one else have this sort of experience?

I have been taking about 2.5 mg a night for twenty years. It has never failed to put me to sleep although very severe pain makes me wake and move several times each night. I know if I don't take it I will only sleep in snatches, waking every 1/2 hour all night. It does make me sluggish for several hours after waking but it is better than to never sleep. I'm sure I am addicted and would hav ... Show Full Comment

I know if I don't take it I will only sleep in snatches, waking every 1/2 hour all night. It does make me sluggish for several hours after waking but it is better than to never sleep. I'm sure I am addicted and would have terrible withdrawal if I stopped taking it but oh well.
