Hello,
From my experience I haven't had any of the symptoms listed but I know others have. I was taking anywhere from 5-10mg as needed (usually about 3-4 nights a week) for about a month and I was fine. There are also lower doses which would probably be a good place to start. I started taking them because I don't have a problem with falling asleep but staying asleep and my doctor wanted me to give them a try before a prescription. They seemed to work for me for about two weeks then I found myself still waking up panicked with my mind and heart racing and unable to sleep. My doctor wanted to prescribe me Xanax but I asked if there was a non-addictive medication that could help and I just started my first week of Trazadone. It's mainly an anti-depressant, even though I am not diagnosed with depression, but it is also used for Insomnia. So far I've had great results but I'm wondering if the effects will eventually fade like the melatonin did for me.
