"took this with zoloft to get me out of a black hole of anxiety and insomnia after a terrible few weeks trying remeron.  withdrawals from remeron were terrible and i didn&#039;t sleep for about 6 days  (i&#039;m not exagerating).  was about to give up but my dad convinced me to try another med since i had an obvious chemical imbalance that wasn&#039;t correcting itself.  despite not wanting to rely on a benzo for sleep i really didn&#039;t have any alternatives and i needed help fast.  zoloft combined with this for a few months got me out of the hole i was in.  tolerance did set in eventually (about a year) but i&#039;m working on finding something safer but this med essentially saved my life."
