I wonder if it happens to men too!?

For right now I am going to try to stay on it. This morning I wrote a pros and cons list for Invega and I only have 2 things in the pros category and about 6 in the cons.

Pros:
More energy/less tired
better focus

Cons:
sleep walking--doing strange things while I am asleep and unable to wake myself
high blood pressure (or at least seems like my blood pressure is high, can feel blood pounding in my head)
water retention (like 7 lbs!)
more severe headaches
lactating (my breasts are very achy!)
increased word loss (cannot come up with words or phrases even though I KNOW what I need to say, can't get them out of my mouth)

Sadly, even though there are so many cons, the 2 pros are big ones for me. Being able to not sleep all day or at least not be so worn out feeling is huge and being able to sort of stay focused long enough to nearly finish something is also huge. Usually I jump from one thing to the next every few minutes. Now I have focus for about an hour before I must change tasks.

Is this too many cons?
