Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

You can take it night. Usually pacitane leads to sleep disturbance and drowsiness in your case may be due to sizopin. If you want to take pacitane at night, you can, There is nothing harm in it. With arpizol and clozapine, there is no need to take pacitane because chancing to getting EPS is very less. Rest, you can discuss with your psychiatrist. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
