Staying awake 40 hours a week is a challenge. I told my coworkers I have issues with daytime drowsiness, so now, when I yawn they start engaging me in a conversation to distract me or they tell me to hang on, X number of hours left.

Good luck with the new job, peeing in a cup, and staying awake 40 hours.

Thanks :-). Cup peeing is done, but the work is definitely hard. It was much harder using the Horizant. Now that I'm back to methadone only, it's easier.

I can't handle Horizant. The daytime drowsiness was insane. Stopped taking it, sleep less, but can get through a work day awake.
