I tried it once to help me sleep--it was horrible. I had a paradoxical reaction to it: up all night, speedy, trippy, brain zooming stuff. Yikes!

I do well with 3mg/day. My sleep is less broken up, and I can stay in bed somewhat longer w/o waking. I felt my energy was up slightly as well, though that may be due to getting better quality sleep.
