| Rating | Reason | Side Effects | Comments | Sex | Age | Time Taken and Dosage | Date Added | |
| 2 | Restless Leg Syndrome, Insomnia | Fatigue, joints pain (elbows, knees), light sleep, withdrawal symptoms (anxiety) | I was prescribed this because of leg movements during the night which could have been the cause of my fragmented sleep and lack of REM sleep. Even at the lowest dose it didn't work, deep sleep and REM sleep became scarcer. The pain in my knee was severe and caused many sleepless nights. And like with all benzodiazepines quiting proved difficult, because of the increased anxiety. The only positive thing about this drug is that it helps with social anxiety. During the time I was on it I was much more open and talkative. I also discovered that taking this drug with verbena tea increased its effects. | M | 42 | 6 months 0.3 MG 1X D | 11/23/2015 | |
| 2 | Restless Leg Syndrome, Insomnia | Fatigue, joints pain (elbows, knees), light sleep, withdrawal symptoms (anxiety, memory loss) | I was prescribed this because of leg movements during the night which could have been the cause of my fragmented sleep and lack of REM sleep. Even at the lowest dose it didn't work, deep sleep and REM sleep became scarcer. The pain in my knee was severe and caused many sleepless nights. And like with all benzodiazepines quitting proved difficult, because of the increased anxiety and the memory loss. The only positive thing about this drug is that it helps with social anxiety. During the time I was on it I was much more open and talkative. But the side effects are not worth it imo. I also discovered that taking this drug with (lemon) verbena herbal tea increased its effects. | M | 42 | 6 months 0.3 MG 1X D | 11/27/2015 | |
