"i was prescribed this drug for occasional anxiety issues, related to pressure at work. i took it during an extremely stressful time where i experienced extraordinary anxiety. the first day it helped me quite a lot, by taking away the negative feeling in my chest and making me more relaxed and social. later in the day, it made me very awake, without impairing my sleep. i took it for another 4-5 days every day in 2.5-10mg to try with different dosage. the positive impact faded and i got serious problems with side effects. i could hardly sleep any longer and the combination with diphenhydramin (sleeping pill) made it even worse, by excessively reducing my heart rate and respiratory condition. the last 2 days i hardly slept, due to &#039;hypnic jerks"
