"I have been taking 50 mg to help me sleep for about a year now because of insomnia I’d be carful with this drug!! as it beyond helps it knocks you for six I would struggle to get out of bed in the morning and feel like rubbish I started to have weird dreams that I was having seizures, which I think I actually was in my sleep. I am also trying to come off them now your brain will completely start to rely on them to sleep, as I’m finding out 3 weeks in on cutting it off and my insomnia is worse than it ever was before ! Completely regret starting them and can’t believe my doctor let it get to this stage as they look like harmless hay fever tablets at first !! Please be carful !!!"

"I have had an ongoing ear Infection for 18 months and sleep just doesn't happen! Doctors prescribed these to help me get some sleep. First night I took two as it said take 1 or 2..... I had zero sleep! Took kids to school and struggled to drive. Came home sat down and slept for 4 hours and woke feeling like death, that night I took just 1 and went off very quick, I woke an hour later thinking I'd slept for 8 and I was absolutely soaked in sweat, didn't get back to sleep! That day I sat down again and must have fell asleep with in seconds as can't actually remember anything. We are on day 3 now and I am still going to try 1 more as I soooo need to sleep."

"I take promethazine for raising my mood and for anxiety when I need it, but the problem is the morning after I feel I have no energy and in a depressive state. It doesn't help in in the slightest."
