[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 388998, member: 3184"] My guess would be the evening as zyprexa can be sedating. If she seems too wound up during the day, you could switch it to morning, maybe on a weekend and see if she is too sedated? Fwiw, my difficult child was on 10mg of abilify in the morning and 5mg in the evening and all summer needed the higher dose in the morning. when he started school again, he was falling asleep in class. I think he was more wound up in the summer time due to less structure, and the structure of the school year helped him but then he needed the lower dose in the morning and the higher dose in the evening to help him calm down from the day and sleep as he also has trouble sleeping during the school year. I would ask psychiatrist why they want to go with once a day dosing if twice a day dosing is working? If twice a day works for you I would be leery to change it [/QUOTE]
