4 | insomnia | odd dreams, notice that with the higher dose, 50mg vs 25mg, i feel much more awake in the am and don't have the "hangover" feeling........any insight to this? | Only takes a half hour to go to sleep versus well over an hour. Only wake 1-2 times and can fall back asleep more easily. Also, find more clarity of thought in the daytime hours. This is life changing for me...........difficulty getting to sleep and would wake 3-4 times a night with great difficulty in falling back asleep. I am taking Fluoxetine (prozac) and find no trouble in adding this to my routine. | F | 52 | 50mg 1X day | 3/31/2012 | 4 | | 4/30/2004 | 4 | SLEEP | | 1/3/2004 | 3 | | 2/9/2005 | 2 | Insomnia | It left me very, very relaxed which in many people would put them to sleep, but not me. It causes night sweats, which I never get when I sleep. Left me extremely sluggish all day the next day. | I was prescribed 50mg for insomnia in attempt to get me off of Ambien 10mg at my request. I also tried Vistaril for sleep, but it was like taking Benadryl and didn't do anything.

Was happy that I actually slept, but it was at a cost of losing my entire day. | F | 63 | 1 days 50 mg 1X day | 2/23/2021 | 2 | Sleeplessness | Took 50mg at 10pm last night.
