Thanks so much for the replies. Yes, it all makes sense. Most meds seem to make me tired. Maybe? Not sure about Lamictal or Pristiq. I think I'll try taking the Abilify in the early morning, though, then if it knocks me out I can sleep for a while. Hopefully.
This feeling might be either a manic or a mixed. Feel agitated as hell, jumpy, tired/wired, and a degree of paranoia. Our weather went from burning hot, bright summer to cool, dark autumn literally over night 2 nights ago.
I'll see pdoc on Tuesday. Yeah, she says the same..."some people do well with this medication in the a.m., some in the p.m....try it out and see what works best for you..." Back to the everybody's different. And that is true - it's one of the hardest things about psych meds.
