It had become no more effective for me than caffeine. I'd feel better for a little while but eventually felt worse after a few hours. It didn't keep me from sleeping all afternoon either. Last month I switched from Zoloft (which was losing effectiveness after 5 years) to Prozac but now I am sleeping more than ever. I have also been taking Wellbutrin, which I stopped a few nights ago to see if that was contributing to the tiredness. I haven't noticed any difference at all. After reading numerous posts I am going to order Adrafinil and give it a try. I'm tired of sleeping my life away.
