Saw my psychiatrist today. Going to try taking abilify at night

I have terrible anxiety, 80% due to abilify I believe. It’s worse just after I take it. So the new plan is to see if taking it at night will make a difference.

They didn’t want to prescibe a benzo.

Hope the new med schedule helps. Hang in there @everhopeful!

I was taking abilify at nights, and I couldn’t sleep well. Now I take it in the morning

I used to take 10mg at night and could sleep ok. But I felt better taking it during the day so switched. It was like it started to “run out of ooomph” during the day if I took it at night.

I’m just hoping 15mg won’t run out of ooomph during the day.

I take mine in the evenings.

Prefer it to taking it in the morning which I used to.

I used to take 5mg in the morning and 15mg or 20mg at bedtime.
My previous psychiatrist liked to divide the doses.

I took abilify at 10pm last night. I feel blah today. Slightly hungover. It’s been hours since I got up and it still feels like I’ve just got up. But no anxiety.

At least you had no anxiety @everhopeful.
This is a plus.
