one of the normal side affects of this medication will make you sleepy. Of course take one dose when you are ready to go to bed. Take to your Doc and see if you can decrease your other dose or maybe take it at bedtime only

Answer 2

This is a qestion for your doctor. But...

How often do you take it? If you take it in the morning, have some coke or coffee. If in the evening, take it before you go to bed, or when it is ok to get drowsy.

You get the idea.

Answer 3

Tell your doctor. I'm going to the dr. tomorrow and I'm going to tell him that my medicine is causing insomnia and ask him to change it to something else. I've been staying WIDE AWAKE till 5 am (wanna switch??) lol Maybe I need Klonapin!!You can't take what I'm taking ...it's for high blood pressure.
