I was tired for the first couple hours after waking, but that's because the effects last for about 12 hours. I gained tolerance to the lowest dose (about 10 mg) within 4 days. It relieved my pain but didn't make me as drowsy. The unfortunate thing is that after a while I had to up my dose and repeat the process all over again.
