My sleep pattern is pretty screwed up now. I've been going to bed around 4AM, and waking up in the late afternoon. Sometimes I make an effort to correct this by forcing myself up early or pulling an allnighter, but it seems to be almost ingrained in me now.
I take my meds (zoloft, but currently tapering down) before I go to bed, but this time varries considerably.
My question is if taking meds inconsitantly on a poor sleep cycle is harmful to you, or has an impact on how effective they are.
Thanks.

I'm not on the same meds as you but I find that forgetting to take mine at the same time every day makes a huge difference in how I do on that day. it's pretty bad on the weekends if I sleep in too much, messes up the next 3 days for me.

thanks for your reply.
I guess I was wondering more about whether or not it has health risks.

Perhaps with some medications there might be seizure risks in changing medication timing?? But mostly it affects how I feel.
