So, my doc has started me on this stuff today in a bid to help with some weightloss. We will see how it goes. Hopefuuly it will help. I will keep you posted.

That's kind of scary, but really, reading the PDR on any drug is too.

Yeah, there can be some nadty side effects, so I am wary. I will take the sample ones for a few more days before i get my prescription filled.

So, I have taken the pills for two days now, and tonight I can't sleep. It's after 3am here. I actually don't feel bad. I've had a few dozes, but I just can't seem to get into a deep sleep.

Tomorrow night if I still feel wakeful, I will take a mild sedative and see if that helps me sleep. I do realise I need to sleep even if I don't feel tired and the doc said this would be one of the most likely issues on this drug.

I need to add that I've been having trouble sleeping for the last few weeks though, so it's not necessarily all attributable to the drug. I just don't feel as crappy at 3am, which I suppose could be considered a good thing.

Mild sedative? Such as?

Aliantha · 09-09-2014, 04:30 PM

Just like one of the pills I take when I get a migraine. I take them often when I can't sleep. Not technically a sedative, but they help me sleep. I could take phenergan too, but that makes me bitchy, so I prefer not to.

There really is a bitchy pill? I thought that was figurative
