Abilify: Does anyone else feel hungover in the morning?

Medications

I used to blame coffee. But I quit coffee and still today I woke up with what felt like the world’s worst hangover.

The only explanation left is Abilify.

Have you ever talked to a doctor about that? It’s not normal to feel like that.

Same for me. I take it around 6pm.

I’d love to take it sooner to see if that helped, but I get anxiety all day long.

I might have to take it earlier as the hangovers are now worse than the anxiety.

There’s no point. I’m not switching meds and don’t want extra meds.

So, it’s 100% Caplyta for you? I was wondering about that for myself.

Morning and night except Caplyta only a night.

@HollyHobbie

Yeah I wake up hallucinating and feels like my blood sugar is low. Wears off after a bit. Geodon doesn’t cause this for me.

I take it at night too. Overall, I have more visual hallucinations, but I still know they’re just hallucinations, like on Geodon.

I have a feeling of low blood sugar too. Mine doesn’t wear off though. The symptoms are the same 24 hours a day. However, I am on 42 mg.

That’s why I talked to my pdoc to try to reduce my dosis the other day…

But it will be at least 3 months of hangovers until my next appointment, and it’s not for sure.

I take Aripraprazole since 4-5 years and the dose varies up and down, lowest I have been is 10 mg and highest I have been 20 mg.

I never feel hangover.

You should get checked for cholestrol or diabetes. Any which ways you should consult a doctor.

I don’t feel hangover with Aripraprazole.

Hey @everhopeful

I get vivid dreams bout once a week.

Was having sleep paralysis but stuck with it!

It makes me incredibly agitated during the day. I usually take it around 11am and it takes around three-five hours to kick in! I would say it helps with anger.

I have not tried to take it in the eve yet so i may try that. Would you suggest that?

I had to start taking it at 6pm otherwise I too felt agitated during the day.

But like I said, I feel hungover now instead which seems worse.

I take the following supplements for agitation

(2 capsules)

(2 tablets)

And when it’s really bad anxiety I take this every so often

(1 or 2 capsules)

All APs make me hungover cause they block dopamine and make me tired.
