From what I've read, most people take Abilify in the morning, yet my pdoc and general doc say take it at bedtime? Is this lack of dosing knowledge with a newer med? Classifying it with the other antipsychotics that can knock you out?

My pdoc said to take it at night too. But I told him I was taking it in the morning because it does not sedate me and he said what ever works for you do it !

I don't think they know any better. My doc did the same thing. I guess he was thinking that that was the same time I took the previous med. I didn't work out so I stoped taking it. Later I tried it in the morning against docs orders, and it worked out much better. I told him I was taking it in the morning and he said ok if that works better. If I were you I would ignore docs orders and take it in the morning. The med will wake you up and if its night time you won't sleep.

I think everyone is different because for me, abilify makes me a zombie about an hour after I take it. So i take it at night. I used to take it in the mornign but i just couldn't make it throught the day.
