SashaSue Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Dude, I didn't realize you were on Abilify. It can be really activating for a lot of people, to the extent of creating or exacerbating a mania. So increasing it miight not be quite the thing to do right now. Really, you might want to reduce it, and see how you do with that. There's a ton about Abilify & mania over at CM. There're a little fanatical about it. When do you see your pdoc again? Early next week? If things get any worse, you might want to think about calling him sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 DB - I wish you the best on abilify. I was always on 15 mg. Of course, I always got akathesia right away. So if you notice an inner restlessness or severe anxiety that is sudden and doesn't go away, let your doctor know. If not, I wish you the best. When it works, it tends to *really* work for people. I hope the seroquel problems are getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
