"started taking it for sleep and it works like a charm. big problem? i knew i was packing on the pounds due to winter, etc., but was mortified when i went to the doctor today and got weighed. twenty pounds in 3 months? i&#039;m don&#039;t want to stop taking it, so i&#039;m trying to break 15 mg. tabs in half. i can say that i will have to find an alternative if that doesn&#039;t do the trick. the weight gain far outweighs any benefits i&#039;ve gotten."
