For Fibromyalgia "I have taken this medicine for 15 years. My pain is up and down depending on life's circumstances. It helps me fall asleep, but the quality of my sleep is still poor. I have tried several times to withdraw from it or to change medications. I have never been able to because I end up not sleeping at all."

For Major Depressive Disorder "This medication doesn't help depression. It also kept me up at night. I couldn't sleep all night. I went to the doctor to get a new antidepressant."
