I was on it for years, and it did help me sleep. They started me at 50 mg, and worked me up to 200 mg every night, as I just wasn't sleep. But that 200 mg put me down in about 30 minutes. My new pdoc pulled me off, b/c it is an anti-depressant, and could cause racing thoughts, and other manic symptoms.

So that being said, if you notice any manic symptoms, notify your pdoc soon.
