Im having a hard time to sleep and wondering if it would be ok to take 2 pills just so i can sleep. My mental health nurse had let me do it a few times before.

    I don't think it is a good idea to exceed your prescribed dose without the approval of a medical professional.

    If I were you I would ask your doctor first. Messing with your medication off your own back is never a good idea. Phone your doctor's surgery and make an appointment.

    Dear Ozm, read the leaflet carefully. Somewhere in there it should tell you. If not, phone a pharmacist. You need professional advice.
