"i am in treatment for lyme disease and the antibiotics, as well as the infections, cause insomnia, depression, anxiety and racing thoughts.  i used herbs to quieten my mind so i could sleep and they were successful for a couple of years, but finally i needed something stronger. i take just half of a 25 mg pill an hour before i want to fall asleep.  it works very well but i do feel groggy in the morning.  at first i even had trouble talking as my speech was slurred.
