Sounds like I took it too late and didnt give the first pill enough time to work either. I took 25mg and that didnt seem to work so i took another after an hour and then went to sleep about 45min after that.

I would certainly prefer not to take it. As stated above I really dislike the stuff. Im just not sure what other options could work for me. Maybe I will ask pdoc about something more natural. I dont think benzos are an option with my addictive personality. If nothing else I guess I will devote a couple days to sleep when needed and hope the sedation settles down. It never got better in the month i took it before though so I dony have much hope for that
