I've only been on this med for 2 days but feel exhausted throughout the day. I'm taking only 50mg at night before going to sleep. I sleep well, but the sleepiness seems to be there all the time.
I'm happy to give it a trial if the sleepiness can go away over time (or last 8 hours - enough time to sleep w/out hangover).
Can anyone w/experience chime in on this? Thanks.

Only took for a few days. I didn't like all the people warning me of how it was pulled off the market in Canada and Europe. But it seems that many people do like it. Heard it's like an antihistamine. Are you sensitive to meds? Phillipa

certain types, yes. antihistamines do knock me out. But I never took them regularly so I don't know if that effect would wear off.

Stick with it, the drowsiness will pass off after a week or so...... try a cup of strong coffee if you feel you need a kick start

Thx for the reply. I'm taking dexedrine and wellbutrin and drinking coffee and the exhaustion was still overpowering. I ended up getting off of it because I didn't want to lose my job.
Damn, I wish this was easier. For all of us.
