I can *get* to sleep on it but it won't keep me asleep. The *good* part is it still works fantastic for social phobia symptoms. I can take just a 1/4 of a .5mg tab in the day (with a little Neurontin) and I feel a big difference.

Mitch,

It's potent - no doubt; as for tolerance - I am
not sure what that depends on - possibly for what
it is taken for in the first place; in my case,
and it was not spelled out, I think the theory in
vogue is, maybe was that bipolars are epileptoid;
either that or it was given for GAD - frankly
I do not know. However, I think for 5-7 years
i did not feel a difference.

The thing about K, is that imho you don't feel
it getting on, but it is incredible getting off.

You might need a raise in dose or another - I am
not sure if this drug is still in favour - perhaps
heavily used for epilepsy.
