"at a tiny 1 mg dose this drug was wonderful for about a month. instead of having a crazy sleep-till-noon schedule, i started to wake up in the morning on my own.  i wasn&#039;t as tired, and i got a lot of things done. which alone helped my depression. i was also able to start exercising and eating right without crazy cravings - so i lost about 10 lbs.

the doctor increased me to 2.5mg/day and things really went downhill.  i can only sleep for 4-6 hours at a time, so i have to nap twice during the day and as soon as i take the medicines i&#039;m so tired i&#039;m basically incapable of driving. i&#039;m cutting back down by half today hoping it was a dosing issues."
