Today I took 2 in the morning and I was asleep at 3 pm so it definately makes me more tired. I think over time it will be better than taking 1 in the morning an 1 in the afternoon since that really makes me tired, but taking 2 at night is helpful with good sleep promotion. I wish I could take all 4 at night but then I may never wake up, but it may eliminate the daytime grogginess.
Is taking them all at night ever recommended when daytime sleepiness is an issue especially since the formula has changed and the pills dissolve much quicker than they ever did before Pfizer messed with the ingredients? Which leads me to my next question...
Have you ever submitted a formal complaint about the change in the medication since it is a very different pill than the original Nardil and supposedly Pfizer never applied for the formula change with the new ingredients. They considered it the same medication although users noticed a very differnt effect with differnt side effects.
One thing I notice is that the dosage required now is much higher leading me to believe that the coating contributed to a longer lasting effect and a lower dosage than is now required.
Does anyone know what the half-life is now since since the 2003 formula change, has it become shorter with the pill coating being softer? It seems like the effects are more immediate and not as long acting which may mean taking 4 at night is not so ludicrious if the effects are more immediate than in the previous pill composition.
