It was certainly activating for me! I could not sleep when I took it at night. Mind racing, etc etc. Definitely morning med for me. My psychiatrist also warned me about not taking it at night since there's the possibility of activation.
This was also my experience. When I was depressed, it worked great because it was activating, but once the depression abated, I had to cut my dose way back or I went kinda hypomanic.
