splitting a 37.5 mg pill and timing it so you can sleep

patti · 05-19-2006, 01:15 PM

I am now taking half of the 37.5 mg pill in the morning about 9 or 10 am
( 2 hrs after breakfast) and tried taking the second at 2:30 aprox. 2 hrs after lunch--this kept me awake--any suggestions?

Try taking it at 1:00. Maybe you are taking it too late. Try taking the first dose around 8.

Hey, Patti.

I take my 1/2 pill about 5:45 a.m. in the morning.

If I were to take a second 1/2 I think I would probably do it 30 min. before lunch. JMO

What time do you normally go to sleep?

the dr said to take it either 2 hrs after a meal or and hour before a meal. I get up at 7 or 7:30 am and eat then- so i take the pill around 10 am. The timing with the meals confuses me. So if i eat lunch around 12 or 12:30, should i take the pill at
2:30? Thanks for any advice. I usually go to bed around 10pm weekdays or 11pm or after on weekends.

why can't you just take the whole pill in the morning? For me i believe that it works the whole day and i just take one in the morning around 8 and i have no problems at all getting to sleep at night, if anything i have been sleeping better since i have been taking it.

I take mine sometimes right after I eat. That way I don't feel so jittery when it starts to work. But really you'll just have to experiment with it. Everyone reacts differently.
