Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

First of all I like to inform you that zoloft have half life of about 35 hours and abilify have half life of 72 hours. I mean to say that the level of medication remains almost same during different hours of day and it does not matter whether you want o get high after taking medication or before it.

The only important thing here is to avoid all form of substances while on medication as chances of risk to life are always more when you mix medications with drugs.

I hope this answers you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.
