"i was put on this medication as an alternative to ativan (otc, melatonin, and valerian root failed). i didn&#039;t realize initially that it was an antidepressant since my doctor said it was a sleeping pill. i&#039;m also on lexapro and welbutrin and i&#039;m very sensitive to antidepressants. i was started at 50 mg, which did nothing. 100 mg next for about a week which left me feeling awful in the mornings. she then increased it to 200mg and it was an awful experience. i took it at 8pm and fell asleep around 2am. i woke up at 7am for work feeling awful. i sat through two meetings feeling dazed, dizzy, nauseated and out of it. all that evening and the next day i had flu-like symptoms and couldn&#039;t stand without feeling like i would faint. overall, horrible"
