My doctor had originally prescribed me to take lex at bedtime. However, I was having a really hard time sleeping, which was not unusual for me but seemed to be worse on Lex at night..so I asked a pharmacist and he said that these meds are usually taken in the morning. I just switched on my own, my sleeping is slightly better, still wake up with night sweats but my days have gotten weirder..terrible mood swings. I see the doc on Friday and will ask about this.
