    I'm not a doctor so I'm not sure what to tell you, you could ask a pharmacy, they are a huge help on questions like that. good luck, I've tried taking mine both morning and night, back to the mornings for me and I'm on 10mg now, only been a week since I upped it from the 5mg to the 10, sure hope I start feeling like me and soon!!!! Good luck as I said, but call a pharmacy and ask them, they'll help answer that question for you.

      No it may not but maybe more tired or a little dizzy, not sure though, I've only been on this pill for 6 weeks, guess I'm still getting use to it though, still tired pretty much all day and anxious too.

    I would take half a tablet tonight, half in the morning as early as you can then just start 10mg at night tomorrow.

    I've been taking mine for 5 weeks now. Still super tired. I've been thinking about switching to morning to see if that would help me.
