That's it really, when I was last prescribed it 10mg a couple of yrs ago I took in the am and felt shocking for a while, my head felt awful. Would it make any difference if I started taking it in the eves with regards to side effects?

I always took at night as made me feel drowsy.

Sadly was on it for years, I took in the morning as if I forgot I had a chance to take it when I remembered etc, I used to feel very nauseous if I was more than an hour or 2 late taking it. I started taking it in the mornings after forgetting a couple of nights and waking up so so sick feeling.

I hope you feel a bit more together soon x

Morning if you can tolerate it. They give you these weird vivid dreams if you take them at night. I always woke up feeling unsettled or crying but couldn't remember why.
