I have taken respiradel for about 3 months now.
I was extremely a zombie when I first went on it and I started out at 50 mg. But then I got used to it and I went up to now what I am taking 200mg. I take it at night before I go to bed.
It sure makes me sleep well. I don't have any other side effects from it. As far as weight gain. I have gained alot of weight since I started taking meds about 6 years ago.
I would rather be on them as to not be on them.
I feel a safety thing there.
I also take Effexor, xanax and neurotin.
