FYI, It's my understanding the higher the dose, the less zombie like/drowsy you'll be. The low doses are used for sleep aid's and such. Might be worth a shot to increase up and see if it will work for you.

I'm just worried about having to drive around for the next few days in a zombie like state. Feel like I will be totally dysfunctional. I need to cart and carry my kids to extra curricular events etc and my appointment with my PDOC next Tuesday- my new one isn't that close .... Will need to concentrate on my driving and my GPS. Interesting how a higher dose could lead to less drowsiness. My GP wants me to go up 100mg per day. Yikes! When I was on the 100mg XR I was taking it at 8:30 at night and waking up at 5:30 in the morning because I was working then. Took the fast release one last night that's meant for sleep but I kept waking up every hour. Eventually got out of bed at 3am. Bleh.
