Hiya sickchick. I was my very first dose. It sent me to sleep for 6 hours not long after I took it. Yes very sleepy. I know other meds have done the same to me yet I have persisted with them and my body has gotten used to them. I don't know what I would have done if I had to function with life.
I do not have Bipolar, Schizophrenia or psychosis so my p'doc went onto another medication. Please don't ask me what it was cos I have no idea.
I hope things are getting better for you chick.
