    hi, what dose are you on and how long for? the lower doses under 15mgs are actually more sedating x

    Hello, I havent got any help to offer I'm afraid but I am in the same situation as you, I have put on a stone and a half in a couple of months....I spoke to my dr today and am reducing from 30 to 15mg. I am worried about my insomnia coming back though so I might try dieting first to see if I can lose the weight I've gained. I'm not too hopeful though 😔 I dont know for sure but from what I've read on here, I wouldnt stop taking the tablets without tapering slowly first. xx
