I started taking a 1mg dose twice a day 1 in morning and 1 before bed. I tapered myself down to .5mg twice a day and then finally was able to get off it for about 3 months this year. I just started taking it in .5mg doses again due to the anxiety and depression resurfacing after 10 years. I dont know if its coming back because I got off the medicine or just that I am having a relapse but I have to honestly tell you that those years in between when I was taking it were the best years of my life. Just be VERY careful not to take this in larger doses.<BR/><BR/>Side Effects : <BR/>sleepiness, addiction It really helped me for what I was taking it for but it was very difficult to stop.<BR/><BR/>I hope this information will be useful to others,<BR/>Brian LaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
