"i took a 25 mg dose of this medicine for the first time last night. it took about 45 minutes to an hour before it made me sleepy although i was calmed within 15 minutes. i slept great-i usually wake up around 2am every night, but not last night. i slept until 9:30am which is rare for me. i did feel like a zombie for about an hour or 2 after i got up, but i didn&#039;t have any panic feelings during the day. i didn&#039;t feel 100% normal, but this was a pretty good start. i&#039;m hopeful that the sleepiness is a transient effect and that some of my other physical symptoms go completely away."
