Without getting into too much detail.
After skipping a dose yesterday I’m now back on the Abilify.
Never, ever have I been so torn over a medication like I have been these past weeks.
Bottom line is that I don’t have the motivation and drive without it.
I’m just going to be relying on Klonopin more and more when on days I’m feeling too wired.
Hopefully I’ll stick with it but I may have no choice.
I don’t function properly without it
I’m sorry you’re having such a hard time deciding what to do with it.
Startup periods truly suck until you build a steady level and you know what it’s gonna do.
Yes @anon28552576
I’m finding Abilify to be activating for sure
But it’s my fault too because I haven’t been relying on Klonopin like I should when I get too revved up
Self medicating is not good @Wave …
Yeah I know this @dreamer54 and my doctor is aware that I keep changing my mind.
She said that she doesn’t mind me tinkering with the Abilify as long as I don’t touch my Risperdal
I only skipped one day
im in the exact same thing with abilify. to take or not to take. its driving me crazy i cant make my mind up
Yeah it’s driving me batty!
Never have I been like this over a med until now!
My therapist thinks that my OCD could be the culprit
its hard for me to decide because it has made some things better in my life, like im sleeping less, and i have more motivation, and less side effects. but the dose isnt high enough to work and i cant get a higher dose. so idk what to do.
How much are you taking now @irrelevant?
Which dose?
I’m on 2mg and I’m noticing a huge difference with my motivation and anhedonia as well
im taking 5mg but prob need at least 10
Is that your only AP?
5mg is not enough for psychosis control
im supposed to be taking haldol with it but im not, and its not enough
Yeah maybe ask for a different drug than Haldol if it’s not agreeing with you
I really liked more when you were just on risperdal.
This Abilify thing sounds like a torture and it’s keeping you change your mind much often.
You should try different med.
To me,Abilify was a torture,nevet been so weird on it as a add to risperdal and alone without risperdal.
I was on 10 mgs …
Ps: It was very activating …
Yes it’s a bit activating zoa but at least I’m doing things and not being a vegetable
