I'll give you information as I believe I said before but it depends what you are experiencing now. If the antipsychotic lasts all day in effect then it doesn't matter when you take it. If it runs out your psychiatrist might want you take a morning dose or divide it up with a morning and evening dose. Otherwise if its sedating an antipsychotic is generally taken at night. If its activating that is it wakes you up (can happen with Geodon and Abilify) a psychiatrist would probably have a person take it in the morning so it doesn't keep them up at night. Each person is different and it depends what's going on as to how long the antipsychotic lasts and whether its sedating or activating as to when and how its taken.
