DEPEnds what meds you are taking as some antidepressants like nortrityline also help with sleep so are best to take 15 to 30 mins before bedtime while others are best in the morning. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

my doctor told me it can have different effects on different people so work out when is best for you.
I try to remember to take it in the morning but always forget. good to hear everyone having good results on it though, ive just started so not really doing much for me yet |
