If you are in need of a sedative effect it is best to see your doc, perhaps you are mis0using this med for just that, but may have an underlying problem that should be addressed before self-medicating, you may get to the point, but still may need a temporary relief to sleep, so see a professional before going on to being your own doc., it just may be of help and a better alternative.
