For Sedation "Prescribed for sleeping. Tried three times, and every time it gave a stuffy nose. Extremely irritating, and couldn’t fall asleep because of that. To me, it was useless."

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."
