I think it does effect people very differently, but yes I still feel sleepy all the time.

So sleepy! I don't think it helps that I'm serving jury duty all day (just finished Day 3, we'll have 2-3 more days of testimony). I seriously just sit there and think about how badly I want to lay down and close my eyes.

My tiredness got much worse when I upped my dose to 1000 mg, and I'll soon be up to 1500, at which point I think I'll just have to lay down every hour on the hour, lol!

ps -- The only other symptom I have is very occasionally I have diarrhea when I eat greasy food. I had tummy upset the first day I increased my dose too, but the sleepiness is the killer for me.

I've been on Met for a week and I am sooooo tired when I take it. it is like taking sleeping pills. I found that taking it at bedtime works much better for me. i can't seem to function during the day otherwise.

Hi

I was really worn out when I first started the Met. But I'm much better now, well, still sleepy but y'know what I mean............. it does get better with time.

I'm usually ok and then suddenly I come over having no energy at all and desperately need to lie down and have a nap
