Q: in middle of night i feel so agitated i feel stress i take it PM it is better to take it AM

Not every night, but many nights i just can't sleep because at about 2-3 am, i wake up so agitated and stressed, i feel frustrated of course, i try to calm down and after a fe hours of forcing myself to stay calm, i finalely go back to bed. It's a very agravating feeling and it makes my nights not so resfull. I take celexa at night. I was wondering if it would help the situation if i took it in the morning. And i would like to know if taking it in the morning would mean that i will feel more sleepy during the day. Thank u for caring enough to answer me.

Always take antidepressants in the AM, except for sedating ones such as Remeron.  Give it a try.  And if you don't have a psychiatrist prescribing your meds, get one.  They know the meds very well and will work with you to find a schedule that is best.  Even if you have to pay out of pocket to see him/her every two months or so, it is worth every cent.  Feeling better is priceless. Good luck.
