This morning I woke up feeling very jittery. It's a feeling that is difficult to explain but it feels as though you had 3 cups of coffee in your sleep and you suddenly wake up in the middle of a caffeine rush. I feel very restless and I feel like the only thing that can stop the feeling is to tense up for a bit and then the feeling goes away for a while. I strongly believe that it is a side effect of the medication.
I was taking 20 mg about two weeks ago but I had to bring it down to 10 mg because of side effects. When I was taking the 20 mg I felt really drowsy, irritable and my short term memory and ability to concentrate were greatly impaired. Now that I'm settling into the 10 mg I feel the drowsiness coming back and the jitteriness has become an issue. I'm not a big fan of the medication and I'm thinking about seeing the doctor about getting off of them and trying to continue without the use of medication. I'll let you know once I get off the meds.
