What Time(s) Do You Take Your Meds? morning, noon and/or night
#1
Posted 22 September 2009 - 12:28 PM
I take abilify (10mg), neurontin (800mg), effexor (150mg) at night.
I take lithium (600mg), provigil (200mg), and effexor (150mg) in the morning.
The abilify used to knock me out when I took it, but no more. I am thinking about switching that to the morning dose. I split the effexor to twice a day because it seems to help me fall asleep at the lower dose at night; however it might be making me drowsy during the day. I tried taking the whole dose in the morning and was having trouble sleeping.

I take toprol, Metformin (diabetes med) and one mg xanax in the morning.
At noon, I take two mg xanax and another 1 mg around 4 pm. I also take 80 mg of geodon around four or five.
I take all the meds that make me sleepy at night (geodon, seroquel, cogentin and metformin).
peace
it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the middle of those things and still be calm in your heart.

AM: Effexor XR- Because p-doc said to take it in the morning, though I'm wondering if I can start taking it before bed because I think it makes me really tired.
2X per day, usually evening and night time- .5mg klonopin. I wait until the afternoon because that's when the shit hits me the worst.
