u/Jack-of-Nothing

Hi I started first on the XR but couldn’t deal with side effects so switched to one 100 SR in the morning… it has been going ok… side effects better… but I‘m noticing fatigue in afternoon and needing to nap—almost a little sick feeling like when I have a fever — could that be coming down from the meds? I’m wondering about asking my Dr for a small dose of IR in the afternoon…

I was just prescribed 150 XL. I only took it once so far because it made me so loopy/tired for the first half of the day I couldn't work. I felt okay in afternoon/evening but then insomnia all night. I can't work if I can't think/focus and can't be both conked out and also dealing with the exhaustion of insomnia.

How do people do it? I know that these symptoms are supposed to get better after the first few weeks but how do you get through the few weeks if you have to be alert and functioning at work?
