Just that really, when does it suit you best to take any medication you take? I am feeling a bit drowsy during the day if I take them in the morning but worried about crazy dreams if I take at night. Low dose of Citalopram 10mg and Propranolol slow release 80mg

How long have you been on citalopram? I Found when I first started taking it, my dreams were very vivid and I’d wake up a lot, if I took it before bed. However that stopped after a couple of months. X

I take mine (setraline) just before bed otherwise I forget to take it at any other time.

Thank you for all your replies. I've been on this medication for just under a fortnight now.
