What time do you take your pills?
« on: November 27, 2011, 12:19:24 AM »
Does it change the way you feel at any time if you took them at a different time?

Certain things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture your heart.

different meds need to be taken at different times, i have ones i have to take in the mornings and some that i have to take mid day and then ones i have to take before bed as they knock me out,  i think you should speak to your gp about when to take them
If you think things can't get worse it's probably only because you lack sufficient imagination.

Thankyou for your replies.
I might change the time I take them, I'll probably ask my GP too.
The reason I asked is that I feel bilious in the morning and get depressed at night, I'm not sure whether this is just me or the ADs, the latter could be just me maybe as the mind wanders when it is not occupied elsewhere....

I got told to take mine in the morning, because I might end up staying awake all night if I took them at night time...
Although I have the same feelings, where I spend most of the day alright, and then get worse at night... but again, in the day time in the week I am normally kept occupied with work, and at night I'm normally sat on my own.

Yes I agree with that to some extent, but I also have some terrible worries and dark thoughts when waking in the night.
Well I swapped and everything seems ok, a bit early to tell, but I think I feel a bit better.

On a different topic (but not worth starting a new thread about) a fellow sufferer & friend of mine said that he feels a lot different when the makers of his ADs are changed (but same type), sometimes he can take 50% less of one makers AD than another, I found this a bit strange, anyone else have this?

i havent experienced it but i have heard other people that have had lets say a cheaper drug from another manufacturer, although it has the same name same drug different, cheaper manufacturer. the person in question always took them back and requested the ones that were of a better quality. they did do this for her but after a bit of a struggle she decided after being told about a chemist that dispensed the better drugs went there instead. so it might be worth insisting on the better drug that worked or find a chemist that dispenses the ones you want. />.
