Usually it’s advised to take in the mornings and taking at night can interfere with sleep

I'm five days in and taking at night as I have as advised it lessens side effects. Last couple of days I have had a horrible headache and weird taste in my mouth. I'm not sleeping as well as usual either so think I might switch to morning. Any advice on how long the side effects last?

Side effects can last about 10 days then settle usually
Takes a few weeks to start to get the benefits of the medication
And a few months to get the full benefit of the medication
