| 5 | depression, sleeplessness | light-headedness in the morning, but i think that might be caused by drinking coffee, which i must do now to be alert. | i definitely don't have the crying fits i was having before i started taking it. also, i can sleep 8 hours and wake up feeling rested. before, i was sleeping for at least 10 hours and waking up exhausted. i feel like this drug has helped me to keep my job. | F | 25 | 5 months | 7/21/2004 | 1 | insomnia | Couldn't walk a straight line! Staggered all the time-awful! Sleep felt drugged, NOT refreshing. | Last resort! | F | 44 | 4 weeks | 7/5/2004 | 1 | depression induced insomnia | this drug WIRED me, I couldn't sleep my heart raced and my blood pressure shot up really high. this was awful | F | 51 | 1 days | 7/3/2004 | 4 | insomnia | I took Trazadone (Desyrel) for several years, due to long-term insomnia/fibromyalgia. I never completely got over the morning grogginess it caused for the first 1-2 hours each day, but it seemed a price worth paying for the reliable sleep. My main concern was that it was making me more forgetful and confused at times; I eventually tapered off for that reason, but do not sleep as well. (I took half a 50 mg. pill each night.) | Weaning yourself from this drug is difficult. I used acupuncture to help. | M | 54 | | 6/23/2004 | 5 | Insomnia | F | 21 | 3 years | 6/5/2004 | 3 | Insomnia | Have taken for about 2 weeks. Started w/ 50 mg. I got a good night's sleep but groggy until around noon the next day. Cut back to 25 mg. and this worked well w/ no grogginess for 2-3 days and then I would wake up for a couple of hours during the night as usual. Hoping the grogginess caused by the 50 mg. will eventually wear off. It's hard to open my eyes and get up early when taking it. | Think it might work as well or better than Restoril or Ambien. Anyone had improved libido? | F | 57 | 14 days | 6/3/2004 | 5 | Sedation During Crisis | Makes me incredibly sleepy, which is what I took it for. Took it during my divorce when I was so upset all the time, and it helped me sleep and relax. | F | 27 | 10 times | 5/25/2004 | 1 | insomnia / slight depression | Constant itchiness, restless legs - especially when trying to go to sleep, frequent urination waking me up during the night, no sleep. | Didn't work for me. | F | 47 | 30 days | 5/19/2004 | 4 | Sleeplessness | Not Much side effects. I take 1/4 of 50mg. I am taking Prozac-40mg also. So some times I fee dry mouth. | I am addicted to this tablet. I like to sleep without these tablets, But I can't. If I miss this tablet then I will not get good sleep. occationally if 1/4 of 50mg doesn't work then I use 1/2 of 50mg for few days or one day. I heard prolonged use of sleep medicine cause memory loss problems. is it correct for this tablet also?. I think my memory capacity is decreased. I dont know whether it is with age or these tablets. | M | 32 | 5 years | 5/17/2004 | 5 | | 5/12/2004 | 4 | | 4/30/2004 | 5 | insomnia | I've been taking this for 7 years. I only take 1/4 of a 25 mg pill and I sleep like a baby. It takes effect within 15 minutes. I've never had to increase my dose. (If I take more I wake up with a headache that goes away quickly.) I'm grateful for this drug because it is not addictive and I've never had to increase the dose. | F | 42 | 7 years | 4/22/2004 | 3 | delayed sleep phase syndrome | mild heart palpitations morning grogginess | Take 25 mg occasionally. Any more and too much grogginess in the morning. If I'm not asleep within 1/2 hour it doesn't work at all. Sleep seems shallow, waking up briefly every 2 hours at the shallow points of the sleep cycle. | M | 43 | | 4/22/2004 | 3 | Bi-polar Dissorder | Extreem difficulty getting up in the morning. Tiredness durring the day. | Seemed to have a lack of desire to do anything (accomplish anything) | M | 33 | 4 months | 1/10/2004 | 5 | Migraines\Insomnia | Dry mouth & groggy in the morning, at first | Helped me sleep deeply, and rest. In conjunction with Max Alt10 I haven't missed a day of work due to migraanes in 5 months. I do not use it daily (except the first month), only when I feel one comming, usually a few days in advance. Been suffering from migranes for 30 years, this is the longest strech without one. | M | 34 | 5 months | 1/9/2004 | 4 | SLEEP | | 1/3/2004 | 4 | insomnia | dry mouth,temporary change in taste that went away in about two weeks, | works way better with food than on an empty stomach. | M | 51 | 10 months | 12/29/2003 | 3 | depression, ADHD, anxiety | drowsyness | good for depressive feelings only! not good for ADHD or anxiety at all | M | 27 | 6 months | 12/6/2003 | 4 | SLEEPLESSNESS | HEADACHE | F | 32 | 2 months | 12/4/2003 | 5 | fibromyalia | Wobbly legs | Rheumatologist prescribed it to put my brain into deeper sleep not for depression but because of fibro syndrome.
