I tried a google search and could find nothing about this sorry. What condition is it for if I might ask? Seems that the higher the dose the tireder until your body acclimates to the med . What has been your experience with tirdness since working your way up? How long at each dose and then did you go up when adjusted to side effects. Phillipa

I was on 160mg for 1 month and I could not function. I would take it at night to help me sleep, but when I would wake up in the mornings and have to drive 45 minutes to school I had a hard time. Made me lethargic. I think it is true that the more you take the less sedating it is. When I was tapering off the med I could tell I was extremely tired at the lower doses rather than the higher doses.

lower doses more sedating??????? wow, how very counterintuitive. 40mg knocks me out. and i almost didnt make it to school one day. i ate my breakfast lying in bed because i couldnt stand up.
do other symptoms increase? ie. tremors.. memory loss? do you know if 40mg will be this sedating indefinitely?
thanks!
