When I first started gettng 2 to 4 hours of broken sleep per night (was

a huge improvement for me) I felt pretty good in the mornings. But for

some weeks now, I've been very groggy and draggy in the am. Very tired,

can't get going until after my second dose of HC and thyroid. And my mid

to late afternoon, I'm wiped out again. Exhaustion.

I'm up to 30 mg HC so if that was going to help it should have done by

now or so I think.

Sol,

Are your temps stable? What time are you taking your first dose of HC? I'm

wondering because I'm thinking of having my dh wake me up before he leaves

for work so I can take mine and see if it helps me get going easier in the

mornings. I may wait until I get my temps stable to try it though.

I think it depends on the individual. Cheri is at 35 mg and still working on

getting her temps stable. And I'm pretty sure that they can get wonky during

dosage increases.
