recoverymouse Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Just wondering what time people take their meds, and why. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryp Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Seroquel XR and Celexa in the morning. Seroquel XR so I feel okay during the day. And Celexa because pdoc says it's a morning med. More Seroquel in the evening, because it puts me down for the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix_Rising Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 How about "all of the above"? 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duelist Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I take most of my meds in the morning. Abilify, Wellbutrin, Buspar, and pain meds, then I take buspar and pain meds at 1 pm, then the rest at bedtime, trazdone, lovastatin (cholesterol lowering drug), and pain meds. I couldn't take abilify at night it's too activating for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest THE EMPEROR Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I don't have to worry about much, but still find myself thinking "Did I take it or not?" So: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nalgas Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 When I wake up, I take Keppra. Five hours later, I take more Keppra. Five hours after that, I take Keppra again. Another five hours after that, it's Keppra time. I take lots of Keppra lots of times. My brain gets cranky otherwise. At the moment I also take propranolol in the morning with the first Keppra, although that may change if it's established that propranolol isn't going to kill me. I may also be taking something sleep-related at night, also provided that it doesn't kill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffybirdie Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Abilify is activating for me, so I take it when I wake up, along with Wellbutrin and my vitamins. Most days anxiety hits in the afternoon, so then it's buspar time. Ambien at 11 or 11:30 every nite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancesintherain Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 mine has some variability to it, but not much... when I wake up (roughly 7:30am) - 0.5 mg lorazepam (ativan); birth control; 75 mcg levothyroxine; 150 mg effexorXR when I get home from work (roughly 6:30-7) - 1 mg lorazepam (ativan); 250 mg lamotrigine (lamictal) I needed to shift the evening stuff to after work b/c I was hitting post-work/arrival at home anxiety issues. The lorazepam was initially designed to help w/ sleep also, but it doesn't always cause enough of that...so benadryl every now and then if not tired enough by bedtime.
