Last night and today was the first I didn’t experience any restlessness from the Abilify. However I still voiced my concerns to my pdoc when I saw her about how it was keeping me up and not helping my positive symptoms. She said we would up the dose to 10 mg next week if I’m still not benefitting/having problems. (I’ve been on 5 mg for 2 weeks so she wanted to give me one more week on it first) She made a deal with me that if we get to 15 mg and I’m only having bad effects with no good ones then we would change medication.
Prazosin sadly stopped working for me and she told me to just quit taking it as it was messing with my blood pressure anyways. We will be trying trazodone next week as well but she wants to give me a week to get the Prazosin out of my system first as well as she said prescribing it with the Abilify will help keep her organized So that’s where I am now. I’m relieved we’ll be doing something about the Abilify but I’m nervous about the increased dose. I know people on here said it ceased to be stimulating once you hit 10 mg so that’s what I’m hoping for.
