i've been taking 30mg of restoril before bedtime for the past 3 weeks now. it helps me fall asleep and helps me stay asleep. the only side effect that i know of with this medication are the vivid dreams that ive had. they're bothersome for me during the day when i'm awake. why? i'm not for sure. because the dreams themselves aren't bad dreams. anybody else on this type of medication or likewise with side effects like this?
