Dr. McIntosh,

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. Your response has explained to me why they have me taking it at night while someone is home (my husband). I have only a small order of it, this is a particularly trying time of the year, my son is going through medical changes right now and the stress level has been more than I can seem to handle at this time, I am sure this medication is not meant for me to have long term. Could you explain what risks central nervous system depressants have?

Again, Thank you for your time, Debbie
