Hi has anyone been prescribed this , I have just been given this and have read the side effects and it terrifies me! so have delayed taking it.
I am so sensitive to meds and take alot and this is on top of everything else I take. I was given this to help with sleep as I basically don't get any due to flashbacks and hyper vigilance during the night.
But I also take nitazepam, prozac, amitrip and diazepam, now they want me to take this on top? 100mg a day

Weight gain is a side effect of this drug, and having a joint and muscle disease I can't afford to have extra weight piling on.

Any advice appreciated.
