1. Try taking Petril beta only once in the evening. 2. Take fluanxol one hour earlier than your usual time. Eg . at 7:30pm. 3. Ask your doctor to add a mood stabiliser medication instead of Cipralex, if your diagnosis of Bipolar disorder is confirmed.

Take evening medicines early about 7.30 - 8 pm and go to bed by 9.pm at least. After a few days your body starts to sleep by that time and will be more awake during the day. All the best
