Pentox gives me insomnia

[zidious]

Hello.

I've started taking Pentox (Trental) and it gives me insomnia, which is stated as a side-effect. Seemingly rare, but possible and I got it appearantly. Has anyone experienced this with Pentox and if so, did it go away after a while? You have to take Pentox for at least 8 months or so which is quite long with bad or no sleep.  

Thanks.

That's an interesting side effect. I started Pentox about a week ago and the only side effects I notice are upset stomach and the occasional dizziness. Maybe you're taking the last dose too close to when you fall asleep? Or with not enough food? I've noticed that since starting it I've had to bulk my meals up a bit because smaller portions aren't enough to offset the stomachache.

I took the last one for the day at around 3pm. Ye maybe I should eat bigger meals with them or something. It's funny because I took Pentox last year at the same times during the day and didn't notice any side-effects. But this time I couldn't sleep from day 1. Maybe I should ease into it a bit more this time. Start with 1 a day, then slowly increase to 2 or 3.

I suggest you to take it for breakfast and lunch

If you take 2 per day, the time between them should be approx 12 hours.
Take always with meal, last not letter than 3 hours before going to bed.
Start with one per day at lunch until your body get used to it.
