Advice:
My next shot???
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
I will be doing my next shot on Sunday and I'm wondering if I should do it in the evening like before or earlier in the day.

I'm asking because.... I had one hell of a night and it was just awful.... I was tired as hell and couldn't get any sleep cos of the side effects. I'm wondering if I do it earlier in the day maybe if I'm not so tired, the sides won't be so bad then I can get a somewhat decent night of sleep.

When is the best time to do it? Because even with the Trazedone the sides woke me up.... It was horrible and if there is anything I can do to down play the sides then I want to.

Thanks

" What shot# was the last one and what sides woke you up?

In the start of tx, it may a bit rough, especially the first few shots, but after then, it gets easier. As for sides, it's your choice if you want to be awake for the sides or sleep through them. Most people decide to do their shots in the evening or after they are finished working so that any sides they have will not interfere with their work.
Personally, only my first shot was rough; after that one, the other 47 were no big deal at all. I did mine on Friday eve after work, and \I was able to get up and run all my errands on Sat and Sun with no issues at all.

If you can say what sides are keeping you awake, others can offer suggestions as most sides are avoidable or manageable. "
