    I'm at three weeks in at 50mg, the first week I took it at bedtime but it caused my insomnia to get worse. Spoke to my gp and now take in morning. My side effects so far have been, no appetite, upset tummy for first two weeks, and feel really jittery in the morning for a couple of hours. I'm hoping that I've gone through the worst, as many times over the past couple of weeks I've felt like just stopping taking it.
