Hi Kelly, yes it will be probably best to take one in the AM and the other in the PM. Hopfully your side effects will ease up. I didn't get any side effects on citalopram when I started it but I tried to change to a different AD this spring (a different doctor thought a different AD will,suit me better), and i got all the side effects as listed on the leaflet - extreme tiredness, nausea, acid stomach, confusion, dizziness, name it. I was convinced this is not the AD for me and switched back to citalopram. Side effects disappeared immediately, within one day. So, as I said before and what I have heard, you ve got to find the AD that suits you best, different ADs work differently for different people.
Good luck and hugs,
Milamam
