Hey Leira,
I can relate to the sleepiness. It does go away. Sometimes you have to fight the urge to nap and make yourself do something so it will pass. Just walk around the block or pick up the kitchen - you won't feel like doing it. But you'll feel better when you don't have the guilt of sleeping away the evening. When I go down for a nap - TROUBLE. I can lie there all day.
M.T.

> I just started using Lex about 2 months ago and recentely upped my dosage to 15. Although my Doc suggested this and even thinks I should maybe do 20, I'm experiencing some side effects that are driving me nuts (ha ha). I can't stop yawning and I could sleep forever, which is very unusual for me as I'm usually an insomniac. I took a 4 hour nap after work the other day!! I also have noticed some weight gain, about 5 lbs in the past weeks since I went up to 15, and I don't usually gain weight like that. I'm thinking I should go back to 10, as I wasn't doing too bad on that and I hate being tired all the time!! Any suggestions???
