>Wow! that is difficult for your system to adjust to...
the medication is meant to be delivered into the system evenly over a 24-hour period, hence the need to take it at twelve-hour intervals... I take mine as soon as I get up in the morning along with the cloba holy batman and other meds that I take in the morning.... the tegretol if I want to survive I have to break down into four doses a day when I take it as it must be delivered the same way... and then twelve hours later I take the topomax again...
so 'nighttime' is not actually bedtime or any time close to that, but around an hour or so after dinner...
by the time I am ready to settle down to the idea of bed five or six hours have passed and we get along fine...
