Med combo for possible minimal negatives and positives

I’m currently on invega 234mg, depakote 1000mg and abilify 5mg.
Invega is keeping me stable, depakote is keeping my serotonin regulated and abilify regulates my dopamine.
I’m pretty much free from negatives and positives, but I still have insomnia to fix with abilify.

I would have said Abilify but you said it gives you insomnia. You can also try Latuda, Vraylar or Rexulti.

I went for abilify addon because I want to lower my prolactin caused by invega.
Also I have pretty strong positives if I was just on one med. This combo is my clozaril for now

@everhopeful do you know at which level abilify stops being stimulating? I might ask for 7.5mg
I’m toning the 5mg down with depakote for now, but I may need low dose sedative like seroquel for sleep.

I don’t know. But I’m on 15mg and don’t find it activating.

Was able to sleep now with 5mg of abilify and it doesn’t feel as activating this morning.

I don’t think I ever had insomnia on Abilify but I only took 5mg.

Now I just take Invega Sustenna and Wellbutrin and I don’t have any symptoms anymore.

Copper pills are pretty stimulating. Copper enhances the thyroid hormones.

@Aziz try 2-3mg of copper with food. I even took 9mg when I was really tired. 10mg is the recommended maximum.
