A member asked:
When i take my angiotensin receptor blocker in the morning i get extreme anxiety, and when i take it at night it actually makes me sleepy. doesn't make sense. on drugs.com people complain about anxiety from arbs why is that?

Medication adverse effects are common and vary individually. Sleepiness is not a common adverse effect of an ARB drug but the opposite, insomnia, is more common but I think it could happen. In that case, you can safely take this medication at bedtime. Unfortunately, I doubt if any doctor or pharmacist can offer you a satisfactory answer.
