Since starting Lex 11 weeks ago, I've been taking my dose in the evening. Once I adjusted to it, it worked well at that time.
I haven't upped my dose at all, but I'm considering changing the schedule of my dose, since I started working again in the mornings. So, I'm up much earlier than usual, and have been extremely fatiqued.
Anyway, it wouldn't hurt for you to play with the time of your dose. Good ole' trial and error. I asked this same question awhile back, and got some good feedback that suggested that sometimes you need to change your dose(time) according to your body's schedule. So, give it a try!
Let me know how it works for you. Good Luck, and hang in there!
