"i have had insomnia for almost 30 years, since puberty.  having a child made it worse.  diagnosed with hypomania, which explained why i woke up and started having racing thoughts once the sun went down.  tried every sleeping pill there, in combination at times.  this is the only thing that worked.  i am doing 50mg with 4mg clonazepam 2 hours before bed.  i take it on an empty stomach as i have learned within an hour of taking it you will get hungry.  so i simply eat my dinner late.  have not gained weight yet."
