Right now, I am only taking it at bedtime. But in the beginning I took it four times a day. Then I cut back to twice a day.....at 10:00 AM and at bedtime. But, I have decided I really only need it to sleep. I have been on it for a couple years. If I don't take it I do not sleep and lay there until 4:00 AM exhausted..and that doesn't help me much the next day. BTW, I am post liver transplant and nerves can be severed in the process of opening you up. Again, thank you all for your help. Joanne C.

Hi everyone,
Im the same. After 'getting going' through the stiffness upon waking I feel easier in the morning then start to decline around 4pm. Its all downhill from there. Evenings are terrible. Especially bed time 9pm-12. Take heavy sleepers to knock me out but invariably wake due to pain. Stay strong everyone.
God bless x
