Hello
I tried the 75mg twice a day and boy what a whammo it did to my mind
When taking it in the am after breakfast, I got confused and very very
lethargic, along with not knowing what I wanted to do. I could not function
at all and felt like a truck hit me and left me lay like ROAD KILL.....LOL
I went to bed right away and slept from 11:30 till 4pm straight. Then it was
like a hellish hangover (yes been there in college days hehe) and could not
shake it till after 6pm. Then came the night time dose of 75 and it did
zip.
So I called the doc after 3 days of doing the above and now he wants me to
try it at 50mg twice a day. I think the darn stuff is reacting to my bp and
heart medications too. I have not yet started the 50 but continue on 75 at
night. I catch myself NOT remembering where I left things and this is much
worse than I had previously. I still am ok but just feels something
different. Been on it a week and I can't tell zip yet. I know maybe not
enough but I will try the twice a day starting sunday because I am going to
my grand kids bd party and don't want to be sleeping and forgetting myself
and not eathing cake LOL.
We will see. I will pick up my inserts in am and discuss this with the doc
if he is there, and see if the bp meds and heart meds along with that is
what is doing it.
sorry this is late, but hubby and I well we watched our grand daughters in
another town and I didn't get on line let alone get that script right.
But mind games to me, it does play.
thanks

He he he yeah, what a drunk I've become!!!
I'm only taking it at night or if I get woken up and need pain relief
and sleep. But the effects seem to be slowing down. I am taking way
less pain medication, which is very good, and very good for my stomach!
I am sleeping WAY too much though!
