I used to take it at night. My Dr. said peak levels in your blood occur mostly while you're asleep so things like being tired would be less of a problem. (than doing divided doses)

I used to take lithium 2x a day split doses for 6 years. For the last year, I 've been taking it at night and am less tired. So to answer your ?, in my experience nighttime is better for meds. But check with Dr. anyways.

> Hi,
> OK My P Doc started me on Topamax 25 mg for 14 days. Then I am to take 50 mg for 14 days and then go back and see him. So when should I take this? I thought I'd take it at bedtime in case it makes me tired. But then it says on the bottle for the 50 mg to take one tablet twice a day. So would I take one in the morning and one at night? I know this is probably a no brainer. I already have brain fog and I haven't even started them yet. :)
