"this medication works great for those with cronic insomnia.  my only complaint is weight gain which for me was not an option since i work hard at watching my weight.  i was taking 50  mg and had nightmares with talking in my sleep. i since stopped taking nightly and only use after i can&#039;t sleep for a few days. however, almost each time i take it i have the verbal nightmares. keep in mind these r my side effects and may not happen to you, as far as a sleep aid it works great."
