"i am currently on 25mg taken 2 hours before bed for insomnia. i have found it to be very sedating and sleep for the entire night. on the first night, around the 2 hour mark after taking, i was not able to function properly. cleaning my teeth and preparing my clothes for the morning was a big effort. light headedness and dizzy. i have noticed others have had intense dreams/nightmares while on this medication and i did too. the following day, i feel lethargic and drained despite a full night sleep. i have rated it a 7 because it certainly works to relieve my insomnia, but the cluster of side effects are frustrating. i would recommend trying it for the first time when you have the following days free and are not working and adjusting."
