It made me so sleepy that I could not drive or even work for 1-2 hours immediately after I would take the medication. Just knocked me right out. The doctor switched me to the patches which work much better and do not cause the immediate drowsiness. I have had other various side effects however, which are a problem. Extreme and constant thirst, frequent urination even during the night, dry mouth/throat, cracked lips, and the worst that is restless sleep all the time. Now that I have read other people's reactions, I also wonder if this has caused me to gain weight, be more irritibale and trouble losing weight as well. I am in the process of trying to get my doctor to switch me to another medication because the problem sleeping has really become a problem.
