What is the best time to take meds -Morning or Evening?

[jb2112]

I've been taking them at night and have had trouble sleeping even though clomipramine is said to make you tired etc. What do you think is the best time to take meds or is it completely individual to each of us??

As prescribed by your gp.Mine have to be taken in the morning.When I started them they made me tired but it went off after a couple of weeks.

Some meds ahve to be taken at night if there to help you sleep

I would stick to what the gp has said or what is on the packet.

I take mine before bed to help me sleep - but I always wake up at 3am grinding my teeth!

I've only taken them for 2 weeks, at first I felt so awful and could barely stand up, then I felt really good for a week, now I feel miserable again. All over the place really.

Hi

I asked my GP if I should take them in the morning as I was waking up exhausted but he said definitely night time to minimise side effects which should wear off anyway. I understand that side effects for clomipramine can be uncomfortable for quite a while so I'm just trying to grin and bear it. On my 7th week and sleeping is much better so will see how it goes x

I take mine in the morning, when I first started then I got awful side effects and found them easier to deal with being a wake than waking in the night not knowing what is happening. Im six weeks in now and side effects seem to have gone, but I do notice I'm tired mid day - not sure if the meds the anxiety or because I don't get a deep sleep each night..
