Ive been on 100 mg for 4.5 weeks and Im still tired pretty much all of the time.  I could drink 4 cups of coffee then take a nap.  I feel ready for bed by 8:00 and yawn through my day.  Does this go away at some point, or will I always feel tis way?

    I'm on day 10 of 200mg, and I'm asking the same question as you.  I could sleep on the clothesline!  Good luck

    Hi Kutie.

    I'm on ju 50mg and felt very much the same.  I'm just now into my third week and I've turned a corner - the anxiety has lessened hugely, the depressive thoughts have become manageable and the tiredeness has gone!  Hopefully this will happen for you too (may be the higher dose means that the side-effects take longer to go???)

      It doesn't help me that I had four teeth extracted yesterday, and my body is using energy to heal my gums.  I don't have much anxiety, that seems almost non existent now, so I suppose if it's calming me, it could be making me tired too? I look forward to the morning when I don't mind getting out of bed
