"i suffered from insomnia for over 10 years. i tried everything under the sun from behavioral modification to herbal supplements to prescription drugs. i started 7.5 mg of remeron and 7.5 mg of restoril 5 months ago and i have never slept better. i am so thankful to have found these medications. the first few days i was a bit dizzy and disoriented. and, yes, i have the 10 lb weight gain but that is slowly coming off with proper diet and exercise. this medication literally saved my life."
