"i think this drug (15mg) significantly helped me with my insomnia initially. but i don&#039;t think it did anything for me beyond the first couple of weeks, as my insomnia began to rebound. i think this is a good short-term drug; i would resist the temptation to take it for longer periods for the treatment of insomnia, since most of its sedation effects wear off within weeks (as with all sedatives)."
