"Terrible. Didn’t help. Didn’t notice a thing. Took .50, and it didn’t help at all, except with sleeping. The next day, I felt absolutely awful. Depressed, completely foggy and miserable, unable to function. Couldn’t believe I had rebound anxiety from taking this medication once. It doesn’t even make you feel relaxed or anything. Might as well have just had a sugar pill, only worse because somehow it produced a hangover."
