For Insomnia "I was given a prescription of 30 mg Restoril by my GP doctor to help combat recurring bouts of insomnia. While it did nothing to help me fall asleep, it did help me in a couple of other ways. I frequently suffer from tension headaches and noticed after 15 minutes of my first dose the headache was completely eradicated, which led me to believe that it works well as a muscle relaxer. Another property of the drug which I found helpful was a significant decrease in anxiety, which made me more comfortable in social situations. I never felt 'high', just an increased desire to interact with my fellow peers. So while I can't give it a glowing review for the reason it was prescribed, the other effects outweighed the uselessness of the intended treatment."

For Insomnia "Although I try to avoid sleep medication, Restoril works fabulously as my 'last resort' when I've been tossing and turning for hours and sleep will not come. Thankfully, it's not often, usually, Midnite Melatonin is my first choice if I'm not tired. If I take it and it doesn’t work, then I go to the restaurant. Works every time, even if I have anxiety about not sleeping."

For Insomnia "Tried first time low dose 7.5 mg, never went to sleep, but sure rested comfortably without fidgeting from anxiety. Tried 15 mg second time, slept 3 hours (first sleep in 5 days) and woke up to a panic attack. Could not even rest comfortably for the rest of the interminable night. It’s me, not the drug."
