[Treatment] Drug Reaction ?
#11
RE: Drug Reaction ?
+1 on taking drugs in the morning.
Some, like Losartan, can cause effects similar to intoxication, so one must be careful to avoid that if getting up and driving to work. It (nor Valsartan) had that effect on me, but a guy that I work with it seemed to impact him dramatically.

Thanks That was a good reminder that I had read about the side affects. I cough a lot anyway to keep my airway clear from other problems. As suggested I have changed to taking that drug in the morning and will wait for a week or two then review my Sleepyhead charts to see if anything changes.

Sleep-well
