I got to my office and couldn't stay awake, so came home, and kept dozing off again on the drive home. It scared me because I almost rear-ended two vehicles in front of me and nearly ran off the road several times.
I've decided to take the 20 mg. once in the evening, and then again before I go to bed, and just take the 10 mg. in the morning and early afternoon. I definitely don't want a repeat of yesterday!

When my neuro upped my dosage, he warned me not to just take a double dose all at once at first except at bed time. He told me I could just take extra doses throughout the day, but didn't want me taking 20 mg all at once. So, that is what I have done and I have had no problems.
He also suggested that if an extra 10 mg was too much, to break the pills in half and just take 5 mg more frequently.
