Good dreams if I sleep… but that is a big if! It makes me very depressed if it doesn’t work, I mean very depressed. If I don’t fall asleep in the first hour it will be a sleepless night of hell.

Comment:
I still suffer from chronic sleeplessness. I take 8 mg of this drug along with other medications with sedative side effects and still cannot sleep more than 3-4 hours at a time. The past week I been up almost all night. I may take a 2-3 hour nap during the afternoon depending on ability to fall asleep. Is this the recommended dosage for this medication and are increases in dosage commom?
