My schizophrenic father missed his nightly once a day divalproex, haloperidol, and quetiapine. do i give it to him this morning or wait until night? p.s. he typically takes divalproex er in the morning, but missed the nightly delayed release?

Arrange to have the pills taken back on schedule as soon as possible and speak to your doctor about it. If you are going to supress the abnormal behaviour with drug therapy then the patient needs to be kept on a strict routine. There are of course other teatment techniques that do not involve drugs that you might want to consider. But discuss this with your doctor first before making any changes.
