Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Half life of abilify is 96 hours and it shows effective for whole day. You can take this medicine at any time in a day, due to its longer effect. Same thing is with lexapro, due to his half life about 18 to 24 hours. You can adjust medicine according to your routine. i would suggest you to take them at night. It would help to fix a routine about them. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
