    Yup!  Did the same for me & I was only on 20 mgs!   It DOES get better.   It’s still early for you.  I had to drink a lot of coffee to stay awake.  Some days better than others.  Hang in there!  The extreme fatigue will go away.  Your body & brain are still adjusting to it.

    I was worried about the fatigue when I started the medication, so I take it at night before bed and I sleep like a baby!!!  Maybe try that.  smile

    I tried taking it at night but it didn’t help.  How long before you felt better ?
