Its low potency but it still can cause EPS and other nasty things so its a conventional antipsychotic I wouldn't be taking. It can cause akathisia. It also is an analgesic which is why I guess someone wants to prescribe it for sleep but it was created in 1935 as a pesticide (it has ACh blockade).
I can't possibly see why trazodone, doxepin, amitryptaline, very low amounts of seroquel, benadryl (Unisom in some formulations), doxylamine succinate (Unisom), would not be better choices.
