Taking meds before getting out of bed is useful but unpleasant.

Medication

Am I the only one who kind of hates taking meds before fully waking up even though it’s like the only thing that actually helps me get out of bed and not waste time lying down?

The few times I’ve tried taking them an hour or two before getting up, I have noticed that when I wake up it feels really sudden. I feel also more anxious, my heart beats harder and I feel uneasy. However when I take the exact same medication after I’m already awake, I don’t feel that way at all, it can be pleasant to experience the medication starting to work.

Has anyone else experienced this?
