It's jacking me up. I suffer from insomnia and I can't sleep well with it but I'm hungover all day and no motivation or energy. I feel numb and disconnected from the world like when I was psychotic and I feel depressed now

I took it for several years, it did help me sleep, but the longer I took it the length of my sleep got shorter. I went from 8-9 hours to like 3, but that took a couple years to happen. It always knocked me out though. It's a pretty old drug, I'm surprised they even prescribed it to you.

Yea, 25mg wore off after a while, so then I jumped to 50mg and eventually built up a tolerance even at 100mg. I had to stop for a little while and let it all leave my system. It's best as a prn because my tolerance built up rather quickly.
