well not really. The improvement lasted only a couple of days. Since then we split up his 15mg Abilify into 5mg in the AM and 10mg in the PM and not much difference. Now psychiatrist is reducing Intuniv to 2mg and after a couple of days no improvement really -- exhausted and cranky starting about noon, asleep by 6pm. I truly have no other approach to this than to consider raising Abilify -- he is very "up" as the day starts (about 5 am for him) so that getting tired and irritable by 10am-noon seems unavoidable without tamping that mania down. Today was no fun at all.
