I had the exact same reaction. I was falling asleep at stop lights and having to pull over after dropping my daughter off at school into a parking lot so I could take a nap, or I'd never had made the 20-minute drive back home. It was horrible.

I also found out that I was glucose intolerant during this period. I don't know if they're related. I can't eat white bread or rice without getting really sleepy. (I really miss Chinese food, and I only got to have one slice of my daughter's birthday cake because it knocked me out.)

I hope your doctor can help you find an alternative medication, Aggie. And good luck weaning off of this one.
