Comment:
This medication makes me very sleepy even on the 20 mg dose, I have begun to dump approxiamately 1/2 of the beads from the capsule. This seems to help. Wish there was a 10 or 15 mg strength.

Comment:
I take 60mg once a day for neuropathy in my feet. It does help that however we found it also helps with keep me calm. Have been on for at least 8 years. Have tried coming off but I can not sleep. If I miss a dose I can't sleep. I am now taking the generic which is so much more affordable. Not sure if generic is as good but I can afford it.

although I am on other meds, this one made me feel like I was on a drug "trip!!!" of some kind. Very sleepy and disoriented after only one 60 mg. capsule. Didn't matter whether it was taken in AM or PM....
