"i don&#039;t like medication in general but this one got me thru work ,divorced single parent of 2 children. no side affects, very qualified professional work. then i became wheelchair disabled on the job, i was ripped off by family of 96,000 dollars during a 2yr hospitalization. with corticosteroids i resumed the 5mg valium which helped.  for me i only need 1 a day although prescribed 4, so they last me 6 mos to a year. im lucky for i don&#039;t like to feel dopey just normal. if i&#039;ve gotten into an insomnia state for a stressful situation with my autoimmune condition is the only time i&#039;d taken 2 to sleep if tylenol pm didn&#039;t work.
