| 1 | Bipolar II | Was put on it for insomnia. Built a tolerance in no time and got addicted to it. Couldn't sleep without. I quit, but it was hard. | I don't recommend this crap or benzos altogether for sleep. If you can't sleep, use Seroquel - it works and you don't get a freaking med dependence problem. | M | 26 | 2 months | 2/19/2005 | 1 | sleeplessness while hospitalized | I was gone, luney. Don't remember anything for 24 hours. I was in the ICU after some cardiac problems. This drug made me very agitated, spacey, tried pulling my IV out, ripping my blood pressure cuff off. By the time my Wife came in I looked like I was punch drunk. I also had a massive headache later that night. Just like a hangover. | This drug is dangerous and should be taken off the market. I'm thankful I was hospitalized at the time. I was put on an IV drip to flush the drug from my system faster. | M | 56 | 1 times | 9/22/2007 | 1 | insomnia | Makes me feel a little more relaxed,but does not put me to sleep......bummer. ambien worked a lot better until my tollerance got so high I had to stop taking them. | M | 34 | 2 days 15mg 1X day | 7/8/2011 | 1 | Anxiety/Depression/Insomnia | Increased dreaming, increased anxiety, mood swing, irritability, increased appetitte, lethargic | M | 25 | 7 days 30mg 1X day | 4/5/2010 | 1 | insomnia | Fell asleep quickly, but woke frequently during the night. After about 4 hours had to get up and take some xanax, my daytime anxiety med. Unbelievable hangover. No way would I drive feeling this way. No headache or nausea but feel as if I'm made of mercury or molten lead. Dropped to 7.5 mg last night. Just as bad. | I asked for this med because I'm trying not to use too much xanax, which I was taking to get to sleep (1.5mg) as well as for daytime anxiety. I took restoril for about 6 years in the '90s and thought it was fabulous, no hangovers, etc. Now obviously it's like a totally different drug for me. I've recently tried zopiclone (Canadian Lunesta) and trazodone. The former made me feel like I had no self and the latter made me a zombie and beat the hell out of my memory, as well as giving me bad dreams. So now it's back to 1.5mg xanax an hour before bed, only problem being its short half-life, 4-6 hours, for which reason I will ask my shrink if I can try clonazepam with its longer half-life. | M | 63 | 5 days 15mg 1X day | 5/8/2010 | 1 | Couldn't sleep | Weird dreams very unrestful sleep. Won't take it again. | M | 80 | 1 days | 3/26/2007 | 1 | pain at nite could not sleep | Addicted can't sleep without it. | M | 44 | 2 months 15mg | 5/1/2013 | 1 | Insomnia | Diarrhea (watery stools) | Took Restoril 15 mg for two nights in a row. Slept great. Didn't even wake up to urinate. No dreams. If it's too good to be true.... On the morning after the second night, I had a very strong diarrhea: at least 5 bowel movements in 3 hours. Couldn't go to work. Stayed home near the toilet. Watery stool continued until early afternoon when I had no water in me left. I threw away the rest of the pills. | M | 41 | 2 days | 3/24/2007 | 1 | insomnia | none | this drug may as well have been a sugar pill. it did not make me tired at all. i have tried it twice at 30 mg and had an even harder time falling asleep than usual. | M | 21 | 2 days | 1/4/2007 | 1 | Insomnia | Total black out | I woke up with a guy's dick in my ass! Never again! | M | 32 | 2 days | 1/5/2007 | 1 | Insomnia | Only short periods of sleep. Then unable to go back to sleep but lay awake engaged in lucid dreaming. Was considering switching to an SNRI for sleep (Cymbalta) but research indicates it has the same potential side effect (unbelievably horrific nightmares and vivid dreaming). | M | 70 | 4 days 15-30mg 1X day | 8/19/2020 | 1 | Insominia | Don't take this drug. It is a class 4 controlled substance. Terrible side effects-cognitive response, short term memory loss, depression, drains your body strength. Never trust a doctor-do your homework and talk to a pharmacist or you will be an addict. | M | 72 | 3 months 30mg 1X day | 10/15/2020 | 1 | Insomnia | Extremely bad brain fog the next day. I am currently 29 hours post dosage and still feel horrible. | M | 30 | 1 days 30 MG | 6/26/2017 | 1 | minor insomnia | Drug from HELL! After about a month began waking up in terror. In the day started getting side effects I had never had. Brain fog, derealization, severe anxiety, cognitive impairment, depression, worse insomnia, headaches. Was in psychosis within three months. Stupid doctor cold turkeyed me off after ten months. I am 5 1/2 YEARS off and still suffering every second in protracted w.d . This pill had DESTROYED my life for the last 6 years. Doctors need to be sued for handing out benzos like tic tacs. ALL benzos are EVIL poison. Stay far far away! | M | 45 | 10 months 30mg 1X day | 5/10/2013 |
