I was so tired before using it that I fell asleep and woke up in the median twice. After that I took it serious. I have an hour and fifteen minute commute one way so I couldn't risk it. I'm hoping by getting in better shape I can reduce the amount I use of it until I do not rely on it at all.    Report
