Too Soon To Tell
Ah! Just started trying it 2 'nights' ago... as per Dr's advice, started with 1x4mg first night, no help. Was awake 38 hrs or so before sleeping for about 3hrs. Then 2x4mg last night; fell asleep about 4hrs after taking and 3hrs lying in bed. Will take 3x4mg tonight, and that's the maximum dose Dr. suggests.... wish me luck!
