I get startled at the slightest little sound. But whats got me worried I've noticed when I'm trying to fall asleep head becomes a bit strange and I get startled and jerk. Noise or no noise..does anyone experience this? Iam on the lowest dose 75mg twice aday...so annoying can't sleep just makes the chronic fatigue worse and I work myself up. End up shivering with anxiety! Hate THIS!!
