I was prescribed this for my migraines. Originally started on 10mg and felt no difference. The consultant kept increasing the dosage until 40mg, still no therapeutic benefit. He suggested I try 50mg, and it changed my life. I went from near enough constant migraines to 1 or 2 a month. Obviously it doesn't work for everyone but it literally changed my life

You need to start on a low dose and increase one tablet per week until you find it beneficial. I found I’d got up to 3 tablets per night but felt really sleepy in the daytime so went back to 2 tablets this was enough to get a few hours sleep .

The drowsiness effect will subside after a few weeks benefit will take up to four weeks before being felt but this drug works if you give it a chance be careful not to just eat and sleep watch your food intake and get out in the fresh air even for a few minutes if you work with this med it will reap rewards no overnight miracles but a realistic time frame and some self help will ensure a gradual improvement in mood

I take 10mg at night for vestibular migraines and it has really improved my symptoms.
