"i was prescribed 15mg tablets to take one at night for sleep (or doctor said 7.5mg was fine). i suffered from anxiety (no severe phobias; more obsessive compulsive disorder type personality), and depression. this medicine affects your sleep feeling natural, not zombied. i sleep longer, it works better than heavy sedation medicines without being groggy, and i get through all the proper stages of sleep (i&#039;d assume), as it has helped my depression majorly &amp; anxiety sufficient enough. i use to take seroquel (for bedtime sleep 100mg), it zombies you and is long term very bad for your health. i tried about every ssri &amp; snri, and none seemed to help &amp; only cause problems. i haven&#039;t felt this good in 8 years. felt better immediately &amp; great after 2 weeks! hope it helps you."
