Working / Worked
I only take this at night to help me sleep. When I take it and it kicks in my tinnitus is lowered dramatically. This may be because it dull the senses in the brain. I sleep good at night and when I first wake up I dont hear any tinnitus at all. It usually starts anywhere from 5 minutes to a couple hours after being awake.

I don't want to get addicted!
Working / Worked
This helps from a racing mind, but it can become very addicting. This can make you feel sad. Also it causes memory loss while you're on it. You won't remember conversations, call people, eat, and I've even had sex and didn't remember.
Working / Worked
Finally something that gives me at least 6 peaceful soundless sleep. Which is working for me workwise. Im not so grumpy and feel refreshed when I wake up.

Worked for a while then grew immune.

Helps to drop off to sleep. Usually can sleep through the night if I can just FALL ASLEEP. I dont take the extended release....not enough kick to make me fall asleep.
