Can you try adjusting the times you take them so that the extreme drowsiness doesn’t interfere so much with your life? If it is a newer med for you, the side effect may improve with time. You could also contact your pdoc, as they may be able to adjust the dosage (etc) to help with the drowsiness.

Thing is, I take it when I get home from work around 5:00-6:00pm. Apparently I'm on the lowest dose that there is. If I take it any later I really can't get up in the morning. It's just not working for me (even though it stopped the psychosis).
