By the end of the night my bladder is usually hurting more than it has all day; therefore, my night time meds are very important to me. Sometimes I will even take them early (like at 9:00pm) if I am hurting horribly. Well usually they kick in about a 30-50 minutes after taking them. Sometimes though they will not seem to work untill a few hours later. I have noticed that when they do not seem to work it is because they have not been metabolized or digested yet. Let me explain, one of my meds is proceed. Sometimes when I take it I start peeing a little blue within the hour. Other times I will go hours and hours untill I know I have taken it. So why would my meds digest a great deal quicker one day and not the next? When I am having a slow day what would you suggest I do to help the meds work quickly? The problem is some nights if I take my meds at say 9 I am out of my mind at 9:30. If I wait till 11:00 some nights are perfect and I am asleep by 12:00 and others it will not kick in till like 2:00. Regardless of what time I go to sleep the time the alarm goes off does not change. And with all these meds it is important to get enough sleep bacause even after a good night sleep it is hard to wake up. So an ideas on what I can do to speed up the process of making my pills get digested and matabalized on slow nights?
