Definately makes me drowsy, so I only take it about 45 minutes before going to bed. When I first started taking Soma, I had a really difficult time getting up in the morning and just felt like a space cadet (well, close to my usual self) for the first hour or so. I had a little bit of dry mouth too and occasionally have nightmares...oh, and maybe a little bit of forgetfullness (or maybe it is just age!

). Don't worry, your body will get more acclamated after a couple of weeks, but I wouldn't be operating any heavy machinery if I were you with this med during the day until you know what to expect. From everyone I have talked with who has taken Soma, it is a doozy!
