Hell, I walked in my sleep from it and could have broken my neck. I called and told the Dr and was told that I should have been told about the side affects.When you live in a split entry and find the shirt you went to bed wearing by the front door, something is wrong. LOL I drink milk before bedtime, it helps some but not that much. I need a good 16 hr nap one day to catch up. Good luck and face OC with determination. You will win.
