"oh man, this stuff works. i was on 10mg for about 5 years! my new doctor had me stop cold turkey about 3 years ago. i grew a tolerance to it and i was addicted to it. my old doctor prescribed it, after my mom died, when i was 18. i puked after taking my first dose. it made me so dizzy, it was weird. after that first time, it never happened again. the only side effect was that i&#039;d wake up and eat without knowing it. i recall my sister saying that i had gotten up and cooked a hamburger, ate it, and went back to bed without saying a word to her. it seems to be a common side effect, though. it was great help, but i&#039;m so glad to be off of it for good. i take diphenhydramine to sleep when i need to."
