Is this the tablet having worn off do you think?
Also another question about how long these take to kick in, as I was told 5 hours, but I feel calmer and my heart rate feels lower after even an hour in the morning? Any clarification on how long slow release 80mg half beta prograne take to start working each day?
Really grateful for any answers
