    Hi Julie  when I started 9 weeks ago I wasnt sure how side effects would affecct me so I decided to take at night   (havnt been sleeping well for a long time)  Have had no problems with taking at night  in fact  havnt slept better in ages   It does say you can take thes tablets anytime   I even know of people who take half in morning and half in evening  its whatever suits you. Good luck with them and if you need any moral support  just log onto site   support here is fab

    They certainly seem to    Have had no problem sleeping since I have been taking them   this could be in part due to the fact that they have kicked in and am not feeling anxious anymore   also when I went to bed I couldnt switch off  but I dont seem to have that problem anymore   How long have you been taking them and what strength are you on

    Yes  I had a glass of wine  but it gave me an upset stomach    not sure if it was the drink though   Ask your doc if its ok    Im not much of a drnker  so it doesnt bother me not to drink
