Yes, LDN is supposed to be taken at bedtime, and only at bedtime, assuming of course someone's bedtime is 9:00pm-1:00am. The timing is critical for the way it works. Even if some were working a nightshift job, they would still have to take their dose somewhere in the 9pm to 1pm window.
Unpleasantness? No. The first few nights I woke early, had a hard time getting back to sleep, had vivid dreams, louder tinnitus, felt groggy at waking. Sure, that was somewhat unpleasant. But I mean, for psych drug side effects, it was pretty mild. The good news is that after a few nights, I slept better than before and my tinnitus got quieter than before.
Energy level...mild increase.
Aggressiveness...well, it is mixed. On one had there is more aggressiveness due to having a bit more energy, but on the other hand it also gives a state of relaxation and peace. It is not the dull numb kind of peace of SSRIs. Actually now that I think about it, I was very aggressive on guitar. Instead of playing an hour each evening, I was playing several hours, and actually enjoying it a lot instead of just working through the routines.
thanks, that was an interesting post.
