Thank you for your response Ilene.

Everyone will react differently to medication. I have not had major problems with getting sleepy with .5mg of K. It seems to last about 8 to 10 hours for me. Hence I am going to take .5mg in the morning and .5mg with dinner/after work.
I did not want to try a MAOI because of the higher incidence of side effects and the diatary restrictions.
