Hi everyone,

My doctor just prescribed me this drug for sleep. Anyone else taking it? What about side effects? Anyone noticed any great benefits?

Any responses are greatly appreciated

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. Oh great, a dry mouth on top of an already dry mouth. I'm just worried about waking up like a zombie. The pharmacist also said it may take a few weeks to get the full effect of it. Yippee! More waiting!

Actually, does anyone know of a good way to relieve dry mouth other than lots of water and gum? I find my eyes get very dry and burn, as well as my nose gets so dry it bleeds. Anyone else?

I took it for a very short time because it gave me a false appetite and I didn't want to gain anymore weight. I am now on celebrex and am very satisfied with that. Good luck!

It was poison to me, I slept some, but the edema was frightening. I gained 30 + in a few weeks and my legs were like trees.

Have you had your thyroid tested? Dry eyes, achy bod...
