    It certainly helped with my anxiety for a while and i was on it for nerve pain, so it was a nice surprise . I was only on 10mg so the effects didnt last long, it has to be a higher dose if it's for anxiety or depression .

    ive had it before though not for very long, I'm currently capped at 50mg A night, I start it tonight too, I know i react ok to it so nothing to worry about there. good news is though my doctor is pretty guarded abotu meds usually i dont think hes too worried about this one and is prepared to take it to its maximum dose if necessary, if nothing else at least I know ill sleep well on it.
