I keep falling asleep. Which isn't a bad thing as I rarely get enough sleep at night. But it's getting ridiculous. I fell asleep whilst watching DS#2 at the play area at Clark's Village today - the noisiest place on God's earth!

Not really. Have you had your iron levels checked? I found myself incredibly tired earlier in the year, just absolutely drained, turned out to be pernicious anaemia. Get your GP to do a simple wellness check, they might be able to tell you what it is. I won't ask if ou could be pg...

Orm - I am only on 20mg but I have to admit I am knakcered all the time. I feel much better on it than off it, but I could just have a nap anytime, like you.

Aha moodlum! Like you, I am much better on than off. Rather be a bit dopey than climbing the walls and weeping.

I just wondered if perhaps I am just relaxing more. I was so tense before I could only sleep in a dark room, horizontal in total silence, and even then it was touch and go.

On 40mg and yes, fairly knackered. I have to keep moving otherwise I nod off. My iron levels are fine btw and I too am much better on it but I could sleep on a flagpole.

I have found it a lot worse since starting to take a really strong anti histamine each day as well. I think it is also about being more relaxed, but I am seriously tired most of the time. But sort of in a different way to when you aren't sleeping at night IYKWIM.
