Yes you can take in the evening, some feel comfortable in day time, some at night. No issues.

Yes you can buy 50 and take half, but make sure you attend your periodic review with psychiatrist, as serta is not an over the counter medication, but a schedule 'h" drug, which needs constant monitoring. All the best.

Dear Sajish Kumar all people used to have negative thoughts including psychologists and psychiatrists. It is not an illness to eat tablets.!

Good that you recognise your negative thoughts which can be corrected.
Bye take care
