Hello all....Please can someone help??? I am very pleased to say the next day groggy feeling has disappeared - Ace! Now I've started to wake again during the night - which is annoying as this is the very reason I was prescribed the meds.  Should I up it to say 150mg plus 1/2 a tab? Or give it a bit longer... They do say you need to give it 2 weeks before you see the benefits. Ta in advance peeps.

    This was 11 months ago....

    BUT...I was told anyone can go up to 700mg.

    I used to take the 150mg...and keep another 50mg beside my bed....if I woke up.

    I stopped taking this drug for other reasons...mainly weight gain.

    I have the same issue. I take 150 and still sit up for hours feeling drunk but not at all sleepy. When I do finally fall asleep, I do dleep well. If you learn more about it, please let me know.

      Hi you mention you sit up for hours? You're supposed to take this med thenie down and relax, if you don't lie down when taken it can have the opposite affect like you mention.
