abilify and high cholesterol

I also take a small amount of liquid Abilify and Clonazapam. I just started taking liquid fish oil and I think it's affecting my meds. Could it be affecting the medication that I take? Causing side effects? I'm feeling angry, a little depressed and annoyed since I started doing the fish oil. I have high cholesterol, so I want to take the the fish oil. Does anyone have any answers or suggestions.

I am suppose to get my blood checked and your doctor should jave requested that for you too. To check you sugar levels and cholesterol, because if you are suspectible Abilify could cause a spike in those levels.

Any one on Klonopin and abilify for depression and anxiety...Does any one take thesse natural products witht them.

I take Zoloft and Abilify for bipolar disorder. My sugar levels were heightened due to Abilify, but I am now taking Metfforman to level out my sugar level because Abilify has the ability to heighten sugar levels. I am not a diabetic. Does cholesterol have anything to do with this cramping?

I also having a very high cholesterol of the hunger the meds making. I esting junkfood and sweets everyday chause this meds. I have never heard voices or seen things that isnt actually there before. What can happen if i quit abilify and zoloft cold turkey for the 3rd time now?

I want her to just take the sam e and to re-start taking her cholesterol medicine again. Her current cholesterol numbers are terrible without taking the cholesterol med. She was taken off of it because the rhabdomylisis. Her rhabdomylisis numbers are still bad with just the xyprexa. I want a new test done with cholesterol medicine and no xyprexa. I suspect that it will be OK. I suspect the xyprexa is the main cause.

It wasn't nearly as bad as you describe, but if I remember correctly it took about 3 weeks for the askasthia to go away when I started Abilify. If you haven't exhausted all other atypicals and it is over the 3 week mark, I would strongly insist on trying another antipsychotic. Ziprexa was a wonder drug for my brain. It was so quiet. Like a beautiful sandy beach. Unfortunately it didn't like my cholesterol. Spiked my triglicerides off the charts on a fairly low dose.

I tried to stop taking zoloft and abilify about three months ago. I tapered off the zoloft and stopped the abilify cold turkey, per doctor's advice. I had mild side effects for the first month and then totally crashed. Needless to say, I called my doctor in desperation and was represcribed both medications. I feel much better, but am still very serious about stopping the medications sooner than later.

I have BPII and decided after 8 yrs and extra 15lbs. on Abilify, to go off. Pdoc agreed and started weaning me off while titrating me up on Lamictal. I’m only on 25mg. Go up to 50mg in another week. Down to approx 1.5mg Abilify now. Feel HORRIBLE. Also on Zoloft 100mg. Having racing thoughts, anxiety, mood swings, bone pain and sweats. From what I’ve read, this is Abilify withdrawal. Do I just have to feel awful until Lamictal dose is high enough to be therapeutic? Thanks!!

(have been on said meds for about 5 years). her 2 suggestions are abilify and ziprasidone--i know nothing about either of these meds and would greatly appreciate any info. and input you may have. (i have until friday to research these meds and want to be as informed as possible) thank you very much in advance for your time.

There is a connection with taking Abilify and acne .

I have medication and eating concerns. I've gained 10 pounds in 3 months, eating candy bars and Ben and Jerry's icecream every night. I also have high cholesterol and triglycerides. I was stress eating, because I moved across country to a new state. I'm trying to break the habit and become a vegan. But, I ate a pint of Ben and Jerry's again tonight. My dad, uncle and aunt are now all vegans. They are suggesting this as an option for me. I want to try it.

My doctor told me that my cholerestrol is to high but when I did all the ratios they were excellent. I have a very high HDL but also a high LDL and I have been on thyroid medicine for 30 years. Is there a cooralation?

//www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-cholesterol/in-depth/cholesterol-lowering-supplements/art-20050980 We have another member on a similar journey. I'm going to direct them to this post. Might be nice to chat. Let us know how it is going!

My total cholesterol was 548 2 months ago increased synthroid from 50 to 100 now cholesterol is 240 and we have increased synthroid to 125.No cholesterol pills just synthrois increase. Good Luck.My blood pressure is high as well. I have hypo with hashimoto's.

d put the worry of the statin on the shelf, and save the worry for the cholesterol numbers. Your LDL is pretty high and your HDL is so-so, doctors like to see a 3-1 ratio of bad-good cholesterol readings. Both Ed and I have zippers in our chests from open heart surgery to prove high cholesterol numbers can lead to serious heart problems. I agree with Ed that inflammation of the arteries is a big issue.

Being overweight does not mean that that is a cause of high cholesterol. I am very overweight at the moment and my bad cholesterol levels have never been high. I do eat a lot of fresh fruit, salads and vegetables. I do not eat a lot of red meat (but do love beef which we have as a special treat - mainly because beef is more expensive that other meat products). Best wishes.

I just my physical done two weeks ago and my doctor called me back telling me that my cholesterol is very high and that she needed to increased my synthroid (thyroid replacement medicine) from 150 mcg to 175 mcg. The reason for the increase she says was because my thyroid is "sluggish"? So I asked her if my thyroid being sluggish has anything to do with my high cholesterol and her answer was no. Could this be related? Isn't part of the thyroid function to control your metabolism?

QUIT smoking or vaping. This causes a myriad of issues and is linked to high ldl cholesterol. For triglycerides, alcohol is a big culprit. Also true . . . drinking alcohol raises blood pressure. Eat whole grains and avoid sugar. Niacin (*** check with doctor first before taking!!) and B vitamins (okay to take on your own) are also said to help. https://www.webmd.

I know high cholesterol can run in families and my dad did have coronary heart disease but I just dont understand the massive hike in my levels within a year as my diet is basically the same. has anyone got any suggestions. Thank you Wendy.

My cholesterol was 328 up from 230 in one year. My triglycerides are 97 and HDL 54. My VLDL Calculation 19 and LDL 255. My doctor was concerned and put me on 10mg of Crestor. That was a month ago and I am due for another blood work up in a few weeks. Reccently (twice) my hearing got fuzzy and I got a little dizzy. It cleared up after a few hours. Should I be concerned. I feel like a walking heart or stroke candidate.

I just found out I have extremely high cholesterol and fatty liver....

You numbers are pretty much right where they should be. Your total is high because your good cholesterol levels are high, which is a good thing. You LDL or bad cholesterol is within normal ranges and I calculate your TGLs at 145 which is also good. Overall, very good numbers. I wouldn't get too excited with a slightly high total cholesterol along with a high HDL, normal LDL and TGL unless you have heart disease in which case you should have an LDL under 100.

High cholesterol has been linked to the development of coronary artery disease and heart attack. With family history of high cholesterol, it is very unlikely that dietary modification and life style adjustment (exercise, stress reduction, avoiding tobacco) are going to play a substantial role. You have not provided me with your LDL, triglycerides, and HDL levels which are more important in deciding further care.

My doctor informed me yesterday that my total cholesterol is up to 238, and suggested I begin following a low cholesterol diet, and get 1 hour of aerobic exercise 3 x/week. Is there an effective diet plan including low cholesterol foods, that you could recommend?

For the life of me I can not get my LDL down, despite trying low fat diets (except for almonds!) Someone mentioned that there are two subtypes of LDL and that one is bad and the other not so bad. It was also mentioned that having a low HDL/Trig ratio normally indicated that you probably have the less bad kind of LDL. My Dad is 85 but had stents put in 7 years ago, so I don't know if that is normal family history or not. Are there any options for me. Should I go on statins?
