She does take it at night. First night she took 10mg, and second night (last night), she took 5 mg. First day she felt somewhat sluggish.. said her brain would just stop and she couldn't 'think' - just blank. She complained about not being able to learn. This was happening at school, and from her description, it sounded like she felt her comprehension was compromised... had trouble following (or keeping up with?) new material. At home, though, no complaints about 'thinking,' and her ability to communicate and talk intelligently seemed normal to me.
Today is her second day. She got herself up and off to school. I'll find out how it went when she gets home.
let me know if you think of anything else!
