For Insomnia "This was horrible. If I slept, it was short periods with vivid nightmares waking me up. Body hurts, legs restless. Sleepy all the next day, worse than if I'm awake all night with no meds. This drug was overly advertised. I just spent 7 days with no sleep as I was told it would get better, which it never did nightmare."

For Insomnia "Does not work very well for me. Slept like trash the nights I did take it. Did make me a little sleepy, but takes longer to work than Temazepam and Ambien, which work a lot better for me. In my opinion, works no better than 10 mg of melatonin."

For Insomnia "I have taken this drug for 2 1/2 weeks to help me get to sleep. It still takes me an hour or more to get to sleep. The day after, I have a headache and feel sleepy, taking several naps. I don’t like feeling dopey all day. I take 50 mg."
