"i have insomnia and fibromyalgia. the pain from the fibromyalgia is worsened when i can&#039;t sleep well.  my doctor prescribed this medication to me mainly for better sleep. he said that this medication was one of the first non-stimulant medication for adhd (which i&#039;ve been diagnosed with) and so it may help with my adhd symptoms as well.  when i first started taking this i felt nauseated all the time, for about 2 1/2 weeks.  once that passed i felt like i really was sleeping better.  about 2 months in i started having vivid hallucinations and 6 months i started having kidney pain and urinary tract problems.  i&#039;m now trying to ween myself off of it because sadly the side effects are outweighing the better sleep."
