I don't use K exclusively anymore, but I have. When I started, my pdoc recommended that I take the whole dose before bed. The problem was that (despite the supposedly long half-life) it invariably wore off by about noon the next day. So, I experimented with small doses throughout the day. This was fine; my pdoc called this the "west coast" strategy (used by pdocs in CA) whereas "east coast" pdocs apparently prefer the before-bed dosing. He said just do what works and gave me lots of leeway.
I quickly settled on the whole dose in the AM; for a week or so I was a bit clumsy and sleepy, but this wore off quickly, and now I have no side effects at all. I find K very effective, although now I also take Adderall, Neurontin, and Xanax as needed (X occasionally only).
