I only take Serzone at bedtime, and I only take the anxiety dose--300. (I was taking a lower-than-therapeutic dose for about 9 months.)
I thought Sonata was perfect for EMAs, which is why I had such luck with it. I'd wake up after four hours, take one, and sleep another four hours. It's a four-hour pill. I'd wake up exactly--to the minute--four hours after I took it.
EMAs suck. But at least we can fall asleep! I'd think it is worse the other way.
Against my better judgment (and yours), I upped my dose last night on advice of my pdoc (and a reminder that I've done this more than once through the years and have still gone back to 250 mg. after my episodes). We'll see.
Thanks for all your help.
