"i have had a sleeping disorder for many years because of a back injury.  before using this medication, i would wake up 4 to 5 times a night and often not be able to return to sleep. when i first started this medication, i didn&#039;t realize much benefit for the first week. but after that, i started reducing the number of times i would wake up. i have now used it for three months and only wake up one time a night and that is to go the bathroom. i have no problem immediately going back to sleep and generally sleep 7 to 8 hours. i have had no side effects and no carrying over problems the next morning. i feel totally rested, refreshed and ready for the next day. i take a 100 mg dose and highly recommend this medication."
