I have used it.  I do know I could NOT take it in the am for sure.   Made me very spaced out and
couldn't think

I tried just the evening dose and noticed the same thing after being on it awhile.  It does work for
some people though and is good for neuropathy pain, so they say

But if you experience any thing or anything as a weird feeling, you call your doctor about it ok?
