"i started taking this for bipolar type 1 disorder &amp; for insomnia. i take 50mg nightly which sedated me and helps with mood stabilization and psychotic episodes. pros: i sleep nightly, my general quality of life has improved and as long as i take it, the odd occasions where i experience psychosis aren&#039;t as bad. cons: when i first started it i had a case of restless leg syndrome (that went away within a month or 2), sometimes i feel like my facial expression is mask-like, i feel like my breathing is heavier the morning after taking it &amp; i i have very vivid life like dreams/nightmares. do keep an eye on what you eat- i find it can give you the munchies &amp; makes it harder to lose weight. this medication has honestly saved my life."
