It could be the meds, but some people are morning persons and others are evening.
Could be several things.
Coffee in the morning helps me.

In psychology they speak of people who externalize (anger) and internalize (depression and anxiety).
I internalize my emotions and am of the second category. Both can be hard to deal with though.

To me it depends on my dreams. But usually I prefer the mornings.

Im lucky that i usually feel pretty swell most mornings. But i get worse and worse as the day progresses usually. Like mentally. Anxiety and mood wise. So i try to get everything done early on.
Mine mornings are also flooded with negativity…
My first thoughts in the morning are negative and I woke up very hardly
I prefer evenings. Daytime is ok;
But mornings; first few hours after waking up are hard
Also coffee… for me it helps a lot also

I hate mornings too. Some people are morning people, I’m not one of them!

Mornings are better for me now. I put a cup of ice near my bed when I go to sleep at night and wake up and put on the heater and sit on the edge of my bed and sip a soda or two. Mornings are OK for me now, but I know what you mean. When I lived by myself for six years I used to wake up fairly happy and then it would hit me: I got schizophrenia and it would put me in a horrible mood. It happened every time. Now I wake up feeling relatively normal.

Mornings are my best time I think.
I take my medicine with dinner but when I tried taking it in morning I had a horrible morning and felt incredibly heavy and mentally challenged etc so take with dinner again.
Mornings are usually a good time for me. Different strokes for different folks.

Ive always struggled in the mornings too with or without meds. It gets a bit better when I consistently get up at the same time and sleep enough and make sure I have time in the mornings before obligations to work through feelings and understand why I am feeling them.

Mornings I am usually drowsy but more mentally stable.
At night I usually got a bit of voices while on Risperidone.
