For Anxiety "I've been on this medicine for 2 years now and it continues to work well against anxiety and panic attacks. I take a 25 mg pill per day. At first, I experienced slight drowsiness and wanted to sleep a lot, but after a few days these side effects went away completely. Skipping a dose won't affect me, but after skipping several doses once I felt nervous, irritated, and had trouble sleeping. Overall, it's good and reliable."

For Anxiety "Helped me a lot, non-addictive, but sometimes it keeps me half sleeping and half awake at nighttime, otherwise, it's a great drug for its calming effect. Thanks."

For Allergies "Took 100 mg and couldn't sleep. Everyone says it's a sedative, but after I took it, I couldn't sleep for hours. I actually felt pretty pumped."
