Abilify 1mg


9 years ago 0 22 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I am on 10mg of Abilify a day. I started out at 2mg and gradually increased to 10mg. 

I also take mood stabilizors; lithium, lamotrigine, and seroquel (which I think is for anxiety).

I don't know what I would do without the Abilify. I noticed a difference almost immediately. Twice I have gone off it for a week (prescription came to an end and doctor wasn't available for new one). I almost cracked up.

I do have side effects from my medication but I couldn't pinpoint if any one is the sole source. I experience some tremors, especially in the morning right after I take the Abilify. I feel a bit dopey at times - which is worse in the mornings. I also have some problems multi-tasking. These could be side effects or they can be part of the disease.  

My Depression was once so bad I couldn't even take care of myself. I credit the coombination of meds and ECT with giving my life back. It is still a battle but I seem to be winning it.

Hello,
 
I have been taking cipralex 20 mg for over a year. Today, was my first appointment with my medical therapist and she prescribed me abilify, 1mg per day.
 
She says that it will help increase my concentration and increase my energy a notch.
 
Has anyone taken this medication?
