Elizabeth, The drowsiness problem is limited to only a very brief period in the medication cycle. The sleep.....although impossible to avoid (unless I am on my feet) is for only a very brief period. If I were to lie down to take a nap, I would be unable to sleep only 10 minutes prior to this onset of drowsiness. Once this period passes, I am back to no sleep again. I sleep less than six hours per night......frequently less than four hours and this has been the case for the past three years at least.....the drowsiness is probably only the last 2 years......they definitely did not start at the same time. Barb: I don't recall having a dream since I started on eldepryl which must have been in 1991.....you are right, I miss them also....some of my most creative thoughts were given first exposure in my dreams.
