write down your questions so you remember to ask! I always think I will remember and then walk out of the office and realize I forgot to ask about stuff. Also helps to bring someone with you when they are discussing treatments and medications.
Mdom, there are probably enough people on here that may be able to offer their experiences on taking different medications if you are interested on how things have worked or not worked for them.
I guess that is one nice excuse for being able to sleep more! So long as the side effects don't out-way the benefits and you keep on top of how you react then it should be ok...
