My dr did say that abilify

May make me drowsy or energized, it varies. I take it at night with my seroquel and have noticed I feel much more rested after 8-9 hours of sleep instead of needing 12 with just on seroquel.

Yeah I rely on two APs. Some doctors don’t like polypharmacy and I can appreciate that but for me 2 APs hits the sweet spot

The pdoc that diagnosed me with sza just did not want me on two meds, but I saw her for years and we just kept switching meds. I think some people really benefit from two or more meds. I feel weary when they start doing 4 or more meds though

At first the first couple months I couldn’t sleep or it was really difficult to get to sleep and the sleep that I had was poor

My Abilify seems to have no effect on how energized or sleepy I am. I just take it in the morning with my other pills.

I totally agree with.you Jimbob I have found peace in two antipsychotics aswell.
I think that I must stay on those for the rest of my life.

Gooky I think that for some people two antipsychotics at the same are the best.
I’m on two mostly for psychosis but also for anger issues. And they work.
