Is It Better to Take Cariprazine at Night or in the Morning?

4 min read
Cariprazine, an atypical antipsychotic, has a remarkably long half-life, with its active metabolite remaining in the body for up to three weeks. This long duration of action means the specific time of day you take your once-daily dose of cariprazine is less important for the medication's overall efficacy, but highly important for managing side effects. The best time to take it depends entirely on your individual response, particularly whether you experience activating side effects like restlessness or sedating effects like drowsiness.
