Ive been on 25mg for 3 weeks and gone to 50 this week ..I feel exhausted and last night couldnt sleep i spoke to a lovely girl on here earlier this week who has success with taking hers ofan evening ..
Im so anxious about being awake all night hence my question x

hey 😃 I take mine in the evening. I take it bang on 6pm every day. i tried taking it in the morning. but it just made me feel worst in the day. I do it so the side effects I get come in my sleep. I'm very hit and miss with sleep at the moment. but I find it better taking it in the evening. sorry I could not help much 😦 but good luck 😃

I personally take it on a morning. Although I feel like I get more tired from it but everyone's advised me to take on a morning with food x

at first I took mine at night. I now take mine in the morning when I wake up. a side effect can be insomnia. i've had to add a medication to offset the insomnia caused by anxiety and zoloft. once dose adjusts you wont feel any different when taking it in morning

hi 😃 I have always took mine at night. apart from i tried for a few days in the morning and really could not get on with it. did it take time to adjust to switching? because my sleep is getting so so so bad. vivid dreams not sleeping a lot. feeling like I'm.going to die.. it's not great..

yeah I'm not gonna sugar coat it. it took about 3 or so weeks to adjust to daytime. I took the trazodone at night for two weeks and didn't think it helped so stopped. big mistake. was helping my deep depression that came along with severe anxiety. went back on it 10 days ago and have slept well the last 4 night's. waking only 1 Or 2 times and falling back right away. I would totally switch to days if your developing insomnia

HIYA
Tried one time late at night and had a terrible sleep so reverted back to first thing in the morning. Dreams are bonkers and i struggle getting out of bed but the one time i took it at night i woke numerous of times and that meant i couldnt function properly for work. whatever suits you best though
