"i experienced insomnia due to the stress of repeated night wakings from my baby coinciding with my husband leaving for a week at a time for work. i began with 7.5mg and it worked like a charm from the beginning. some drowsiness in the morning but nothing a cup of coffee wouldn&#039;t cure. i gained 7 lbs but i am keeping track of calories now and that is almost off again. could not say for certain if it was a result of this medicine because that happens if i am not paying attention anyway. baby still wakes at night at times but i can go right back to sleep on this. i would recommend it to anyone with sleep issues."
