Yeah,

I've been taking it now for about a month and did notice the drowsy feeling and the fog you speak of. The drowsy part seems to hit me about an hour after taking my 50 MG pill. Then it wears off in maybe 3 or 4 hours. I take 3 a day mostly, 50 MG each, not a real high dose. I think it helps a little, nothing earth shattering.
