lilie Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I'm still climbing the walls. (At least my car and house are very,very clean) When does the mania stop? Jeez I swear I'm thinking of caving and going back on create-a-blimp seroquel (even if its 25 mgs) I haven't slept more than four/five hours since starting this crap(with ambien no less) Help! lilie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaRufina Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Um, lilie? If it's making stuff worse, maybe you should call your doctor. Inducing wall-climbing behavior is a bad thing. I'm sorry. I'm on Abilify, but I'm not experiencing what you are describing. It's not what you're going for and you should call your doctor to get it addressed. Maybe they will have you go back to seroquel or maybe adjust the dosage. How long have you been taking it? You need sleep and calmness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilie Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 I've only been taking it a week which is why he wants me to stick it out for at least a month. I don't think I can do this for a month lilie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Elvis Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 For some people it seems to cause the climbing the walls thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cache-monkey Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but Abilify is among the worst offenders in terms of akathisia, which sounds not unlike what you are describing. For some people this resolves on its own after a while. But you should bring it up with your pdoc because some people have found that add-ons like cogentin or propranolol can releive the restlessness. Good luck! cache-monkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilie Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Nope I went a little ballistic so now I'm on 25's of seroquel prn and one backup bottle of zyprexa 5's for extreme emergencies. Lilie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanophile Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 My pdoc gave me 5mgs of Abilify and I'm supposed to take it at bedtime to help me sleep. Everywhere I've been to research Abilify seems to say the opposite - it makes you ansy. So far so good with me - it's not done that. I don't know if it's helped with the mind racing and my general weirdness in thinking that the cause of all my problems are my friends and family. I'm only on 5mgs though which seems low to me. Who knows.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
