Did you read the comments on the poll?

Only one person seems to have reported anything similar - and she seems to be reducing her dose. Might it make sense to reduce your dose slightly?

Thanks . Only just started it so can't reduce dose. Several people in poll have strange dreams so I guess it could be more common. Will see if it settles if not will switch back. Bcus of all my other meds it's difficult to get timing right!

Other than on days when I am having a blood test, I have always taken mine at bed-time so have nothing to compare the effects against.

I tried to take mine at night but after a week of poor sleep, night sweats etc, I have switched back to morning very early.It seems to suit me better
