I cannot take it at night. It doesn't give me a speedy feeling but I certainly feel very untired and if I do sleep I'm "conscious" throughout the night, if that makes sense.
I've also experienced a hypomanic feeling on it at times, but I don't feel that it's a true mania because it kicks in hours after dosing and fades.
I think if it were true hypomania it wouldn't come and go with dosing schedule.
The fact that it can act so differently over time and at different doses goes overlooked I think and muddies the diagnostic waters.
Despite the problems I've had with it, I know that I descend into awful despair after a week or so of dropping off my dose, but that was with Celexa, which exaggerated the ups and the downs.
What does your therapist say about all this? Is there a psychological component?
