Fantastic reply - thanks.

The suggestion to take it twice a day is probably what I was after. My doc is the type that says if it makes you tired take it at night, if it keeps you up take it in the morning.....kinda leaves it up to me. I've been taking it since 2010 but I responded well to 20mg when it was added to my lamictal/seroquel regime. At some point I went up to 30mg. I've always taken it as one dose at night.

Ive had some breakthrough depression the last few months so I've been trying 40 and now 50mg over the past month. Since it only comes in 10mg I decided to try the extra 10/20mg in the morning and continue to take 30 at night. Doing that though the last few days I've had flashes of feeling good followed by really spacey/down periods. I'd like to give the dose a fair trial over a period of weeks as my body is probably just adjusting. Im justbhoping to have at least a little logic behind either dividing or taking it all at night. I'll probably stick with this (30 at night / 20 in the am) for another few weeks and see how it goes.

Still bizarre to me that there isn't more data about how long it takes to break down.

Appreciate the quick reply. Have read many of your posts since 2005 and love your insight.
