Hi hun sorry to hear that you've been having problems with ami. How long have you been taking it and the dosage? Also what time do you take it during the day? xx

What dosage and when do you take it? Any other meds ?

Know if I take mine anytime after 7.30 pm I won't be functioning well the next day. Maybe you need to take yours earlier?

Hi guys, I was told to take it 3 hours before I go to bed? Which is silly really as some nights I'm early to bed then other times I'm late so very hard to gauge it...been on 20mg

5 to 10mg had to stop.

I take 20mg at night for pain relief. If you take it too late in the evening it can make you feel groggy the following morning. A friend and colleague advised me to take it as early as I can so I'd say maybe between 6-7.30pm to see if it makes a difference. x

Just taken my 10mg ....It's 7.30 and the latest I dare take it.

Might be better to think of it as best taken about 12 hours before you want to be awake and with it.....but do take medical advice too ☺
