I've been prescribed 10mg per night for nerve damage pain after I smashed my heel to pieces last year which has left me with the metalwork the surgeon put in to rebuild the back of the foot touching the nerves inside my foot and causing hellish pain.
My question is what time should I take it at night so it is working well when I go to bed at midnight?.

I had same - 10mg after a neck injury was causing severe headeaches which prevented sleep. The drug works well but can make one feel very dopey in the morning. I was advised by my GP to take it around 8 pm. I retire late too and I thought it would make me drowsy before I wanted to go to bed but it didn't. I found if I took it at 10pm I was dopey until 10am but if I took it at 8pm I felt fine when I got up at 8am so maybe it works on a 12 hour cycle.

One thing I'd like to add...I was taking Ami at 9 p.m. and wasn't sleepy until early the next morning...frustrating. But then a friend told me to take it earlier with dinner...in between mouthfuls that is. It works...do try it as this is an excellent medication for so many things. Good Luck..G
