"i started taking this medicine about 5 months ago for neuropathy. the pain has gone away completely. i went from not being able to sleep at night and constant numbness in my toes and aching in my joints to no pain at all. but i am 20 and am not always able to go to bed before 10 pm so many days i cant take it because it will cause me to be completely unaware and sleepy for the entire next day. even when i take it before 10 pm some days i just can&#039;t function the next day and that is becoming so inhibiting to where i don&#039;t take it. i literally fall asleep while driving."
