> i used to take it at 6:30 - but taking it an hour before i got up let it take effect before the panic could! :)Maddy, this worked pretty well for me, too. Only trouble was, it seemed once I woke up I couldn't go back to sleep. Or if I did go back to sleep it also kind of seemed like I slept off some of the anxiety relief effects and still had some anxiety when I woke up and felt like I needed to take a little more to combat that. I'm glad it's working for you!
