I took 4mg about 3 hrs ago. I'm still here, awake. This is my fourth night of no sllep on 4mgs. Tomorrow I will goto 6mgs. The science behind this drug is too good for this drug to respond so poorly at indicated dosages. My guess is that Sepracor studied the drug on relatively healthy participants, not us. Us being this little population of folks who just can't seem to feel right. I think we need higher doses of everything.
But I could be wrong about all that. This could just be one of the many new products that get FDA approval and are worthless.I wll give an update on my 6mg adventure. If no efficacy I will the try 8mg. If that works, then my pdoc will need to prescribe 120 tabs/month. I guarentee no coverage at that dose point.
Bottom line: We can dose adjust and experiment all day long. But at the end of the day, this is just not a good product. Ambien, which will be generic soon, blows it away.
