Hi, I know I am onlly 16, BUT I have been taking various medications for TONS of reasons since I was 4. I started taking this medication when it was administered to me in a psych ward for chronic nightmares/flashbacks. This medication stopped them the very first day of taking it. Thank God for Sinequan!

I was put on 125 mg of Sinequan for insomnia and anxiety two weeks after a death in the family. A mild tranquilizer and sleeping pill would have been much better and effective.
