Under 16 age limit. Pediatrician recommended it. I was not sleeping through the night. I now am. Have been using it for a week & a half.

am using this to help with sleep issues due to fibromyalgia. After 3 nights of between 1-3mg I'm noticing dizziness during the day, sinus headaches, and bad dreams. i was trying to go off nortryptiline, but I don't think so now.
