How sedative is it? My doc prescribed me 5 mg, how drowsy will i be next day. I have taken Seroquel in the past. If its anything like that. I can handle it. From what i read on the research and scientific articles, its supposed to cause the least amount of next day drowsiness. But I also read someone mention that it made them sleep for 16 hours a day. That could likely be a rare occurrence. How was your experience? It'll give me a better idea of what i am dealing with. Any other side effects at this dose i should worry about?

I take it at 50mg a night. I usually fall asleep in about 10 minutes once I lay down. But I can take it at 8 and still function until I am ready to sleep. I am only a little groggy the next day if I take it too late. My pdoc has given me Focalin for other issues but it does help me wake up a little faster in the morning.
Thanks for this!
