"i have only been taking this medicine for 3 days now but i am extremely sensitive to medication so i usually know quite quickly how it effects me. it makes me extremely drowsy and also makes the bottom half of my face feel slightly numb. i also feel like i am about to pass out frequently which is not great. i hope it evens out after a while. it was prescribed to me to take the place of xanax and to help me sleep. i was prescribed 25mg to take 1-2 twice daily as needed. i have already cut it down to 1 once a day about an hour before i go to bed. it does help me sleep, but it makes it difficult to wake up in the morning. it also helps with my anxiety."
