Thanks for this. This morning has been better. I drank two cups of coffee and a caffinated soda and felt much more awake. I even went out and ran some errands. Right now however, as I have sat down to respond to these posts, I again feel like I'm about to fall asleep. I mentioned earlier that my mom wanted either someone with me on Fri when I start the morning dose or for me to wait until Sat to increase the drug. Hopefully this will help.

Geodon did the same thing to me but at the time I was up feeding my newborn multiple times a night and could not be falling over while caring for her so I had to stop the drug.
