What time do you take your antipsychotics?

I think I have been taking mine too late at night and not splitting them up when I could be doing so.

I had been taking both my olanzapine and Rexulti at 9-10 PM. Every evening though I feel them wearing off and I get symptoms until I go to bed at night. I’m going to try taking my Rexulti late afternoon and my olanzapine still at bedtime (9-10 PM). If that doesn’t work I’ll take my Rexulti and half of my olanzapine late afternoon and then the other half of the olanzapine at bedtime. I feel I will really benefit from this.

I take my Abilify at 6pm. If I take it earlier I feel anxious all day.

I tried taking it at 4pm yesterday as a test and sure enough I got anxiety. So I’m back to 6pm.

It is a fine tuning work for sure, to figure out when it’s best to take them, isn’t it? I’m glad you figured out that 6 PM is a good time.

Vraylar was very activating for me too, and too much so! Drove my anxiety up the wazoo! I’m glad you found a good time to take the Vraylar so that it works for you!

I take my zyprexa at night around 5:50-6pm after dinner. I take effexor 5-5:30 am in the mornings. I’m a big believer in routine. Take the pills same time everyday. Eat the same time etc. It works for me.
