> I'm finding this incredibly sedating... its working, my brain is much calmer, to a point of zombyfication though!!! I can hardly move, and just want to lay there and snooze the whole
time....

It's a really strong antihistamine (and dopamine antagonist). I'd suggest starting at a low dose and increasing it very slowly. It really doesn't need to be taken 3 times a day; once a day (at bedtime, of course!) is the recommended schedule. If you started at 2.5 mg at bedtime, you might find that was enough, or you might need to go up to 5 or 7.5 after you adjusted to the sedation.

Good luck with it.
