I know, I laughed at that one too. On the other hand, most drugs have a long list of side effects that most people never experience. I'm not enamored with this drug at all. Just glad that so called "Fibromyalgia" is being taken seriously enough to warrant drug company attention, which means it will start becoming more accepted as a mysterious illness, rather than a psychosomatic disorder. pennyamydent9 <amydent9@...> wrote: -the side effect is

Before you worry about it, make sure that that side effect is present

at a rate in excess of that in the placebo group. 16% of people given

placebo (or something like that; I made that number up) report

sleepiness. Likewise nausea, etc etc.

This is probably one reason doctors think people are stupid. But the

people are probably just trying to be helpful by reporting even the

most fleeting sensations.
