The problem with taking bedtime doses early is I forget. I've been taking meds right before I go to bed for 12 years now. I used to take another med around late afternoon/dinner time and always forgot so just stopped it altogether.
My doc promised me a low dose. I had problems with side effects on paxil, and with only 20mg of prozac, and drowsiness on .2mg of catapres.
The morning dose is just too much for me (100mg). It makes me tired all day. This morning I didn't take it for 2 hours and felt better until then. I used to take .05mg? catapres in the morning and stopped because it made me too drowsy.
I feel a tiny bit betrayed by the doc for not being totally up front about side effects and just passed me on to the pharmacist, assuring me she'd had succes with young kids on this thing. She wasn't 100% upfront about weight gain in my opinion, or about drowsiness. I feel foggy brained and worry if I can function at my best like this during the school year. My grades have been affected by medication in the past.
