Yes, do try to hang in there--at least 4-6 weeks. The sleeping difficulties went away for me after about week 3. I would not recommend taking it at night, though. The rx info & online info has said it's best to take in the AM. When it was giving me sleep problems I started taking it very early--6:00 am. At first I was waking up in the middle of the night, wide-eyed and wide awake. I toughed it out and now I sleep like a baby. On the nights I couldn't sleep I found it to help if I got out of bed and either watched tv or read till I got tired again. Lying in bed wide-eyed thinking about how much sleep you're missing can make you very anxious. Hang in there! Good luck.
