In Morrowind when i use a potion for health or for strength the effect is immediate. When i use the invisibility potion, which i have attempted on a couple of occasions, i never seem to become invisible and get caught doing what it is i'm doing.
Is there something unique about the potion of invisibility that i'm missing?

Thanks

From [url=http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Invisibility]http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Invisibility[/url]:

Causes the target to become completely invisible and undetectable for the duration of the spell. Activating anything, such as talking to or attacking somebody, picking up an item, opening a door or container, or any other action other than just moving will cancel the spell. Your Sneak skill is irrelevant when invisible. You are completely undetectable unless you activate something.
You are probably doing something that cancels the spell. Therefore, you either:
1. Need to make sure that you don't do anything that breaks it, or
2. Need to use Chameleon instead, perhaps combining it with Sneaking around, or, of course,
3. Fortify Sneak (get the effect for spellmaking from one of the expansions) and Sneak around.

2 is probably the most effective option here.
Invisibility is generally useful for two things:

1: Sneaking past an enemy that would attack you on sight
2: Getting in a free hit

Sounds like Chameleon is what you're looking for, it basically boosts your sneak skill and is way cheaper that invisibility.

Or getting away once you do get caught.

Couldn't you just use a portal spell to teleport away? Or Almsivi/Divine Intervention?

That would do it too.
I just remember using enchanted glass boots of invisibility to sneak around that big floating rock for whatever reason and when they'd see me I'd use invisibility and they'd seem to forget I was there.
Hi

When using invisibility is there a "clock" of sorts letting me know how much time is remaining?

Thanks in Advance and another Thank you to those who have provided answers to my previous questions,

Mousing over the Invisibility icon in your effects bar should give you a timer. You may have to be in the inventory menu to do that.
