Extreme tiredness??

Hello!

Has anyone else experienced really extreme tiredness as a side effect? Since going up to 7.5mg I've slept through several alarms, fallen asleep at work (both in the toilets and, embarrassingly, at my desk) and have just woken up at the wrong end of the bus line over an hour away from my stop, meaning I've missed my connection and won't be home for hours, wahhh. I'm also dealing with a pretty hard-core commute and hybrid working pattern that involves staying away from home three nights a week and a LOT of travel but I don't think that can fully explain it?? I am meeting my calorie targets and doing everything 'right' in terms of nutrition/exercise...

I'm thinking of going right back down to 2.5 as I don't actually need or want to lose more weight now. I'll speak to my pharmacy tomorrow but was wondering if anyone else had had this? I spent the first couple of months full of energy, lost loads and had no real other negative effects so this has come as a bit of a shock!

I was exhausted on 5mg but nothing like your examples! I could still function but found myself sleeping 9+ hours a night plus a nap if I was off, then generally tired with no energy. I've dropped my dose due to this.
