[QUOTE="eabhamurphy, post: 1529107, member: 21358"] My husband takes it, I don't but I'm a pharmacist. I don't believe it will affect your sugars. The drowsiness is a definite side effect but it lends itself well to a good night's sleep. Our crying baby still wakes my husband so it doesn't leave you unresponsive and he says he is finding it so easy to get to sleep. He gets up fine for work in the morning and is ever so slightly more relaxed. I would recommend intially taking it when you are just getting into bed. Judge how drowsy it makes you then you can always take it earlier or later depending on how quickly it makes you feel sleepy. There are other antidepressants that don't cause the same drowiness, this one is frequently given when insomnia is described as part of the issue. Otherwise fluoxetine or citalopram are more likely first line drugs. Might be worth discussing your concerns and requirements again with your doctor before starting anything. Hope you find the solution! [emoji106] Sent from my Pixel using [URL=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=67]Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app[/URL] [/QUOTE]
