Yes, I take it first thing in the morning. My doctor is not convinced that it's the medication that is making me stay awake. She thinks it's me THINKING about falling asleep and then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and I don't sleep! I am battling anxiety as well so she could be right on that one!

BTW, my doc did tell me that it's at the higher doses that the drug starts to deal with anxiety. Depression is handled first. Interesting.
