Hypersomnia
"I have multiple rheumatic conditions, fibromyalgia, etc. Because of sleepiness being one of the common side effects of many of my medications and the fact that with fibro sleep is messed up, I first took it in 2006 and the only time I&#039;ve been off of it in that time was the 11 months in 2009 while I was hospitalized. It would have been pointless to take at that time due to what was going on. But, since restarting it, my alertness has been much better. I have no side effects that I notice. When I first took it, I did not think of the warning given by the NP at my pain doctor&#039;s office. She said take a quarter or half of the dose. That&#039;s the only time I&#039;ve had bad side effects. Now I have none. I&#039;ve been at 100mg/day for a year or so."
