I took 10mg last night at 8pm for the first time.  Went to bed about 8.30pm but felt really spaced out for about 2 hours.  I presume I fell asleep but I dont know when or for how long. I know I was awake from 5am onwards. Its 10.30am now and I feel really groggy/tired.  Dont know if thats because I did not get much sleep or if it is the tablet still in my system.  Any comments on this would be really helpful. Thanks, Richard.

      Thanks Amanda,

      This sleep problem has been going on since mid January.  It is so debilitating.

      Hi Richard, i started on 10 mg then as the meds did not help gradually increased upto 30 mg. I only stayed at 30 mg for a month then dropped down eventually to 10 mg as felt too groggy. It took me 11 months to get off 10 mg as i had awful withdrawal like symptoms. x
