5pm Anxiety

I've been on Caplyta for about a month now, and while it helps me tremendously with my bipolar depression, I'm not sure how to handle the side effects. About 4-5 hours before my next dose, as I assume it's wearing off, I get subtle pressure in my head and become very anxious and easily overstimulated. As this is the time I'm primarily around people, my main source of anxiety, this really isn't optimal. I really don't want to quit taking it, but 42mg knocks me out, so it's not like I can switch to mornings. Has anyone's providers had them do 21mg twice a day or something like that and seen success? Just looking for suggestions ahead of seeing mine next week.
