.I took it several yrs ago when I worked long shifts and needed to sleep...
but I only took it on the nights of my work days and on those other nights, I was so wired that I couldn't sleep at all...
so I was off it for a few yrs...
I do have a new prescripton and I use it two nights a week....when I am fully retired, I expect not to use it at all...
these drugs are dangerous to use all the time...
I had no problems with it except being wired on the off nights...
Long term goal is drug free though, if you can.
It is tough.
Pharma drugs attack our internal organs.
Side effects are new problems, best not to have.
They degrade the body over time.
