but morning slieepiness is a problem for a lot of people, so that might be your problem. You can try cutting the dosage, see if that helps, Also, if you're used to that 2 cups of coffee in the morning, you might not be getting as much out of it.

Advancing age being the stinker it is (and I'm nearly the same age you are), metabolism is one of the things it tends to slow down. The good news is that we can eat less and do well on it. The bad news is that we have to start cutting down some of our drugs because side effects can increase. Eventhings we've been on for years can cause problems, I'm the poster child for that.
