> Well I took 37.5mg this morning at 5 am and i just took the other half now at 11:00. so far i am doing better - tired but not terribly exhausted like usual. yesterday i took 75mg at 5 am and another 37.5 in afternoon and felt shaky. i think you are right - it doesnt quite last that long for me. i think the halflife is supposed to be 9-11 hours though. i am going to do the half and half for the next few days and see how i feel. thanks a lot!

>I just remembered the main reason besides laziness that I don't split my dose is that if I take it alone it causes me nausea, but taken with Remeron it is fine. I would split it if I could. I should keep a journal too as my memory isn't as good as it use to be before I started taking AD's :)
Cheers,
Panda.
