Actually I don't even understand why it has to be dosed multiple times in a day. Other people take it all in one morning dose. The drug might have a very short halflife, but the effect on shutting down MAO enzymes goes on for many days after a dose. I don't understand why hours would be so critical. I would try it all as a morning dose, or split into two morning doses.
In any case, dinner is way too late in the day to be taking a stimulating med of any kind.

And don't forget Amitriptyline.
