What side effects do you get, and do you feel knackered?!
I can't work out if I feel permanently tired due to kids or the drugs. My little one has just started sleeping about two weeks ago so one the one hand I should feel refreshed now but on the other, perhaps it takes longer to get over chronic sleep deprivation!
I'm thinking of coming off them soon but not quite sure when the right time would be really. I like the feeling of not being bothered by much but at the same time I need a bit more get up and go now.
