Tell me your success on abilify depot

Medications
21

I feel very medicated.

22

How many meds are you on

23

What others are you on?

24

Just two,

Abilify and Klonopin.

25

Do they have a low dose depot abilify?

26

I read there is a lower dose like 200 and 160

27

I think it goes down to 200mg.

28

The klonopin will make you feel overly medicated

29

Iā€™ve been on the klonopin a long time,

I donā€™t think it has much of an effect on me anymore.

30

Is that your only med?

31

for SZ yeah and the odd ativan if i get to worked up

32

I recommend you try the tablet first to see how you respond before letting them inject your muscle.

33

I dont feel over medixatied myself. But I was on seroquel once and nothing has compared to that level of drugged up for me. It works really well for me in terms of delusions paranoia and hallucinations. I havent had any hallucinations since being on it for 3 months now

34

How long did it take to feel the relief from symptoms?

35

Pretty quick. Like I noticed a lot of improvement within a couple days and full effect after a month or so

36

Did you have to take the oral at first?

37

Yup they havento know if you can tolerate it

38

Iā€™ve not been on depot for years, but I find that the more med-compliant I am, the more stable I am and therefore the more successful I am in my personal life. As well, you can get used to and overcome side-effects given time and effort.

39

Well said. I agree. Im trying to be compliant just these side effectsā€¦

I tried the Abilify injection but couldnā€™t get it to last the full month. They just kept upping the strength instead of frequency. Now Iā€™m on Abilify pills. 30mg daily. Seems to be working. Iā€™m restless but I work full time and stay busy so I donā€™t always notice that. Best of luck, hope this helps
