hi gg, i did a usual titration for me, as fits my general impatience: if memory serves, i got up to 4 mg qhs after a couple of nights at 2 mg, and called it quits thereafter. do read the other posts herein, they are more detailed and the writers are better informed about this one than i am. just wanted to relate my (short) experience, i hope it works for you. and again, do keep in mind that i am a benzo/xanax/ambien fan, so more than a little bias in those directions.....be well, chemist

I feel very relaxed, and have that kind of medicated fuzzy feeling in my body, but not my head (which is fortunate, as I plan to work very very hard on dissertation today), but sleep would be so nice! Actually, I did get about 4 hours sleep in the early evening, which probably messed me up.
