post traumatic stress disorde
"300 mg 4x/day.

I used to have horrible hyper-vigilance, hyper-startle, anxiety, paranoia, insomnia symptoms.  NOTHING (meditation, yoga, EMDR, etc.) helped that much, let alone fix it.  So, the doctor said to try this.  Because of my side-effect sensitivity, my doctor started me on 25 mg.  That first night, I slept a full night for the first time in months.  But then I started sleeping too much - up to 14 hrs a day on the weekends.  We backed off to 12.5 mg & my life CHANGED.  I'm under more stress right now so my dose is back to 25 mg & I'm doing great on it.  It pulls me down out of that watchfulness that prevents me from doing anything but surviving (and poorly, at that).  For me, after a near-lifetime of struggle, this is a miracle."
