"i was given this medication because of fibromyalgia and insomnia. i was unable to get a deep sleep and as a result my fibromyalgia was very bad. i was not informed of the issues of long term use and have been on it for years. i started with a new doctor and the first thing she did was take me off of this medication down from 1mg to 1/2 for 30 days and then cold turkey. this is way too fast for this medicine. i have had heart palpitations, hallucinations, inability to sleep-at all, lightheaded, high blood pressure, racing pulse, really weird thoughts.
