It can be......: You are taking this in the morning, right? If not, it is a morning medicine. Still, as you're adjusting to being "at the right speed" so to speak, it can make you feel agitated. Talk to your dr. About a short term medicine for sleep if you're having trouble. You may also want to ask your dr. If you can start with 50 mcg for a couple of weeks instead.
