I hope they can find something that suits you, I can't remember if the sleepiness wears off in time, I did find I was less sleepy on the extended release version.

I am on 400 and it has not increased my appetite. .nor does it seem to have made me feel better...The tiredness was a full at first but it soon wore off

so is there a different types of this? i don't know what extended release is, not sure if this is the same?

i can handle feeling a little tired but being knocked out is something else, if dd dad wasn't over last night the dc's would of had to feed themselves!

i see my psychologist today and mentioned it to her - she said it wouldn't of had that affect after one hour? it really p!ssed me off cos she was callin me a liar?

400! i don't even think i would have woke up! Grin
im annoyed with myself cos it seems nothings working for this stupid body of mine.
