Just went to the pdoc last week. This time I wrote down all the things that were bothering me. He recommended me to switch to ability.
I was on 2mg of risperdone. The new medicine came in the mail today. I read a lot of reviews about abilify some good some bad. My pdoc told me to just take the abilify in place of the risperdone. I'm just wondering what time of the day works best for everybody else as my pdoc said I could take it at night or during the day. |

Currently I take it at noon no matter what time I sleep. It's just easier to remember.

I made the same switch a few years back. I Take it at night as it can make me sleepy.

I did the same switch in 2013. Mornings for Abilify. Bedtime for Risperidal.

Now its geadon twice a day although I feel calm I'm drowsy at the same time.
Does anyone know if this wears off over time ? It takes forever for my drs nurse to get back to me about my questions. |
