I took it as well. Maybe it was too early after the accident, but I felt very numb and disconnected from myself, my thoughts and feelings. A zombie.
I also found that valium was horrible as well. It didn't provide enough deep, REM sleep. I slept but wasn't rested. A zombie.
I have found propanolol and trazodone work for headache and sleep.
Best of luck!
