Take it about 5am one night

About 2am next night

Bedtime the night after

That's how I did it anyway

Thankyou 😄 I’ve been taking it at night for a week now just switched over but feel a lot more energised but yesterday and today feel like I’m a bit too energised if that makes sense , my mood has changed in that time which is better tho

I used to take mine about 8am and when I switched to bedtime dosing, took my next dose on the next midnight .....it was fine. I didn't notice any difference in sleep quality or anything, it's just more convenient for me.

Ok thank you 😊 maybe I’m just a bit anxious over the change , having blood tested Thursday so will help 😄 thanks again

Theoretically you can just switch over! It's a very slow acting drug, so doses should smooth out to a large extent.

I tried this when I was very hypo. One day instead of taking my morning dose, I waited and had it at night. I felt terrible for several days until I switched back! Knowing what I know now, I think it was the fact this works out at giving you half a days less dose.

Since then, whenever I make a change like this, I err on the side of taking too much, rather than too little. So I would take a morning dose, and then also take my evening dose that day, and carry on from there with evening dosing.

Thankyou for your reply 😄 I switched over a week ago and I felt good for several days but the last couple of days felt like I’ve had a lot of adrenaline in the morning lasting almost all day and getting anxious , last night I took a 75 mg pill and then a 25 this morning feeling anxious , do you think I should just take it on the morning now and continue to take mornings 😩 x
