Since my initial 2 week dosage, I am taking one 1mg pill at night and sleep about 6 hrs in a row which is better than I have slept for years. I haven't had to take any pills through the day until today when I let myself get anxious over work and family matters.

I take it for panic attacks. I take it as needed. I still have panic attacks about three times a week, however they don't last as long as they used to now that I am taking this medicine

I was taking a 1mg. pill 3 times a day for 2 weeks and had no anxious days. My instructions now are to take it as needed. Under the tounge work very quickly. I was also sleeping much better while on it consistantly but stopping cold turkey has returned me to sleeping 2-3 hrs. I take a 1mg pill and am able toget back to sleep. This is the as needed phase so it may take some time to figure out. May take one before going to bed.

Helps me sleep, a lack of which often trigger a manic episode. It also does not make me fall back into the depressive phase as easily as with medications such as Stilnox

This was prescribed for me because I fall asleep well but have a difficult time staying asleep. When I wake I can not fall back to sleep because I can not shut my brain off. This drug helps most of the time but not as well during hormonal periods. I do not use it every night.
