"my doctor prescribed this yesterday because i have had horrible insomnia.  my girlfriend warned me that she had taken it years ago and it made her feel like a zombie the next day, on top of horrible nightmares.   unfortunately i had the exact same experience last night.  i took the medicine at 8:30pm in hopes of being asleep by 9, 9:30 at the latest as i am up at 5am for work.    well, 12am rolls around and i am still wide awake in bed, but crazy dizzy and out of it.   it did absolutely nothing to help with my mind racing.    i finally fell asleep between 1am or 2am and had horrid nightmares to the point that i would wake up in a sweat, go back to sleep and have the same nightmare all over again.  this morning i feel dizzy and have no focus"
