Is taking ssri twice a day a thing? I'm assuming I can get insomnia under wraps. Sometimes it feels like it's gone and worn by the evening or else it's just tired.
Sadly it doesn't feel as effective as it was the first few days. But then my stress level has gone up too. |

Is this how it was prescribed? The answer depends on what med you are taking, and how that meds effect you. Some meds make you sleepy so you take them at night. Others you take in the mornings.

What medication are you taking? Some are prescribed BID, even TID. Remember, antidepressants accumulate in your system over several weeks before you start feeling better. Try to be patient because this is normal.

I've take some SSRIs twice a day too. I would ask your doctor. Mine were capsules so I had to get a new prescription for twice a day.

Yeah, there are certain SSRIs that can be more stimulating/sedating or neutral. It does depend on the med/dose and when you take it. So it is certainly something to discuss with your pdoc. links to charts of some of their mechanisms and possible side effects: https://www.healthalliance.org/media...ison_chart.pdf https://www.google.com/search?q=anti...w=1920&bih=971
