so the side effects for both spasticity drugs are like the disease itself - totally inconsistent! They both cause unbelievable drowsiness, in fact, a friend used to try to encourage me to take naps during the day; he'd be happy to know that sometimes these days i take naps by force - not really because i want to. so anways, i'm on 2 medications (1 of them is 2mg 3x a day - how powerful do u think that
is!) and I take them both at 8am, 4 pm and midnite. when i take the 8am dose - i've already started working and it's unreal just how sleepy i get SOME days. On those days, the drowsiness kicks me in the face around 9 - 9:30 - i always fight thru it and by 10:00, i'm good. when i take it at 4? NOTHING - ABSOULTELY NOTHING!!!! cept for the time on the truck in Miami carnival and i was bepin like fus time (nodding off like the first time ever)!

Saturday nite, De ParangSide had their kick off to parang season and of course i was at the fete at midnite when my handy dandy alarm went off. i was good for a while and then here comes the drowsiness. Now falling asleep at home is 1 thing, dozing in the middle of a party? totally nother story!!! but it was unbelievable and i couldn't fight it...so what did i do? i had to slink off to the back of the place, hide in a corner and sleep for about 1/2 hr! when i was done, i woke up and continued partying like nothing had happened.
there is no rhyme or reason to when I'll be sleepy and for how long. it's crazy!
