Right there with you B2Y, as I too had similar reservation...still do as generally I try to stay away from medication. I've been messing with it for the last two or three weeks. Some times take it, some times not, even though I know that is not is how this medication is to be used because there can be withdrawl symptoms. Lately I've only been taking it at night to assist with sleep

Taking it before bed has decreased night spasms and improved the ability to sleep sometimes, but the sleepiniess and fatigue/weakness seems to carry over into the next day which I don't care for. On the other hand, improved sleep has reduced cognitive impairment so that is the upside.

This med seems to have a variety of effects for each individual, so you might try it to see if it helps with your symptoms.
