Re: Prolonged drowsiness
I certainly put a few days aside (no commitments) when I decide to start a new drug, just in case the side effects are severe.
I did that in 2007 when I started Mirtazapine, and I'm glad I did as it "zombied" me for several days, but I slept like a log.
The drowsiness wore off after that. Now it just makes me drowsy 1-2 hours after taking it - but it doesn't work if I'm not reasonably relaxed. If I'm agitated or stressed it doesn't help, but purely as an aid to sleep it a marvelous drug for me.
