[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 47382, member: 2423"] My daughter was taking Lexapro in the morning, and it caused excessive sleepiness so we switched it to the evening. Abilify, like any atypical antipsychotic, can cause sedation. You may want to reconsider the timing of that medication as well. If your daughter has bipolar disorder, both Lexapro and Trazadone (antidepressants) could be destabilizing her. Furthermore, she's on an awful lot of medications. Sometimes too many is just as bad as too few. Sometimes a medication wash in a supervised environment can be helpful to get a baseline read on behavior and then start over with careful monitoring of treatment. Welcome to the board. [/QUOTE]
