Half-life = 1 day: Especially if you think it will help, you should be okay. But don't make it a practice. Do discuss options w/ your Dr - that's a rough side effect! Please consider CBT as an addition or alternative - research is clear on this for optimal help. You'll still have half in you so don't take an extra dose, just wait till evening. Best!
