    Hi,

    In my case it gave me headache and insomnia in just 2 weeks.  But it did alliviate my anxiety. I wonder ifI should have waited longer before changing to another medication. I was taking it at 3PM as the pharmacist suggested, My psychiatrist wanted me to take it at night.   Maybe the rght time for me was 6AM when I wake up. ;-(

    My wifes says I am always moving. I don't really notice. When I go to bed, some night I have an uncontrolable urge to move my legs - drives me crazy - but doesn't last too long. When I take a sleeping pill I'm even more active. 

    I too had trouble with the night sweats - EVERY night felt like I was breaking a fever. We purchased the temperature controll matress topper from SleepNumber and it has cured that problem completely. It creates a temperature controlled constant airflow through the topper and out from under your covers.
