Not me C/L does not make me in the least tired. I take 2 x 25/100 six times a day and Suffer from insomnia most nights and rarely sleep during the day . When I do sleep I have to wear a mask to alleviate Sleep Apnea. Bedtime is no fun any more☺️

C/L makes me feel tired and drained, not enough to fall asleep, but too much to make me feel motivated to do anything.

Yes, completely exhausted! My neurologist then put me on Rytary which is time-released and doesn’t affect me the same way. I still take half a tablet of Sinemet as a booster. No I don’t fall asleep IN my dinner as did before.
