> I tried 2.5 both AM and PM then I took 5mgs yesterday AM then got sleepy for a few hours (napped a while) then I was wired feeling (needing to move around) the rest of the day and had to take some Xanax in the evening to settle down and be still.
> I'm also having trouble sleeping, it's around 1:30 am here and I'm wide awake !
> I think I'll go back to 2.5 in the AM and see what the day will be like.
> I've only been on this for four days. I'm just looking for a fast miracle I guess !!!A little but not much. I wake up feeling ready to take on the day. Except for last night. I had some bad dreams that woke me up a couple of times. I had a headache and felt really full (ate to much for dinner) so maybe it was just that. It seems like I have more sleep issues since I started taking it AM which you think would occur with PM dosing??
I word of advice. I would stick with either AM or PM dosing for at least a week to let your body adjust and then switch to the other time. Bouncing back and forth every day will never give the med a chance to level out.
I am thinking about trying 5mg, but won't exceed that dose.
