Yes, very tired: As you have undoubtedly learned by now, it will make you very tired. I hope it took away your urge to cut. Ask your psychiatrist for Hydroxyzine 10-25mg three to four times a day as needed for the urge to cut. It is a lot safer. It is an antihistamine and works very well on the urge for self harm.It will take a couple of weeks to get used to the sedation, but it goes away. Best wishes.
