I had headaches...headaches every day for months. I had all kind of tests done and this dr. prescribed this for me. I have worked up to 50 mg and the headaches are gone. Thank God for this medication.

I started taking this medicationn a few months ago 50mg ..cut pill in half and worked up to 50.. was feeling very tired throughout the day, but was getting the best sleep in years.

The medication was working at first, then I started getting swollen ankles, dry mouth, and blurred vision. I will definitely stop using this. I'd rather deal with the pain from minor head injury.
