"This drug is garbage and should be taken off the market. Doesn't work, keeps you up all night when you have to work a 12 hr shift the next day. Causes RLS, migraine, and insomnia."

"Started with 10 mg, did not work, went to 20 mg, still wake up after 4 hours. Hate not sleeping. Hopefully going back to Ambien, even though I wake up and snack. At least I sleep."
