Hello
Welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I can understand your concerns.

This day time grogginess usually goes away in 7-10 days but in some cases may take 2-3 weeks.
However, you can reduce the tablet for the time being if this grogginess is bothering you. Please keep your doctor informed about the same.

Thanks.
