My new pdoc suggested I take both doses in the PM, to prevent drowsiness and to cause better sleep. For the first night, wonderful. Next night, I wake up in the middle of the night realizing that the left side of my body is shaking involuntarily. This never happened while I was taking AM and PM doses. I got scared and went back to AM and PM doses, and will talk about it with pdoc this week.

I must say it is also expensive, even with insurance, because there is still no generic.
