" I don't think so. Did you talk to your doctor about this? I have it for "as needed." I have used it a couple of times, although I may need to start taking it every day..as my anxiety is out of control, effecting my blood pressure big time. "

" Try it first before deciding. I don't take it but I have a friend who was recently switched over to that med. She is behaving much more controlled now. She can still function during the day. I would always try what the dr. has suggested, if you have problems then talk to your Dr. "

" I am on it as well. .5 every day, .5 as needed. I wouldn't worry too much about it being addictive. It can be somewhat sedating. I take it before bed. It helps me sleep. And if you are hesitant, believe me I am one of the most hesitant and anti-medication people ever, and I am fine with it. You will probably get used to it. "

" I take .25 in the morning and have for about a year. I probably should take the other half at night but don't. I haven't found any problem with it. I was taking it at night but stopped it about 6 months ago and it was not a problem. "
