Hi, I did this exact same on Friday. The symptoms have been horrible grogginess. Have you experienced this? Hoping it'll only take a few days for my body to get used to it.

Hi, I've been on them 2 weeks now, for me it was definitely worse the first week.
It doesn't seem as bad this week by I have Chronic Fatigue so usually feel shattered all the time anyway.

Are they working for you though? Mine are and it's brilliant. I didn't take the extra 10 one night as I had been feeling so groggy this week anyway, and it made a big difference. All the night day I was really anxious.

Ah that's interesting, I take mine before bed incase they make me drowsy.

I'm glad they're working. It's so tough isn't it Flowers
