I'm always scared to take new medication.
Many folks here replied to my message about wanting to know about this drug and because of everyones replies I finally got the courage to try the pill last night.

My Dr. told me to start with 1 pill (they are 0.5mg) and if that didn't PUT ME TO SLEEP than to try taking 2 pills.

The goal for me taking this medicine is to calm the rage and irritability and to help with my sleep.

I was just scared to take the pill...but I did it...and really felt nothing and then I was aggrivated because I hadn't taken my other sedating medication because I wanted to see how this worked "by itself".

I didn't feel much at all....I actually get more drowsy on my Gabapentin. So..as per the Dr (Shaz...lol)....I will be taking 2 pills tonight and today during the day at some point I will be taking 1 pill.

He had told me whatever dose worked at night to put me to sleep to take 1/4 of that dose during the day (trying to calm mood and anxiety).

I'm pleasantly surprised that this pill did not make me feel like crap or much of anything...because now I feel safe taking it and I will be able to take it for more than a few days and maybe there will be some progress in my irritability and rage.
