Common Questions and Answers about Abilify problems

abilify

Avatar f tn Have you had these symptoms checked out by your GP? Abilify does cause shaking and tremors, and just because your psychiatrist hasn't seen these side effects doesn't mean they aren't being caused by the Abilify. I doubt the Abilify is doing much to help you, it's rare to get this many years out of one medication as our bodies build up a tolerance to these types of medications.
Avatar n tn t make any sense is that I am no longer taking Abilify and Im still having these problems and here all along we thought that Abilify was the one causing these allergic reactions Am I having a withdrawl from being off this drug and if so how long before I feel normal again As far as having mood swing, depression and etc well everything is great and I have had no problem with that the only problem Im having is abnormal facial movements, trouble swallowing, dry mouth, a little trouble breathing and

Avatar n tn my doctor has given to me abilify and wellbutrin, is it good for quit smoke and go school well? i cant go school well. i cant stay in classroom. even i cant go to school. i always want to stay at home. i am out of my home, i quickly want to go back my house. also i smoke 3 packet cigarette in a day. also i have serious sleep disorder. i explained my problems to my doctor. then he gave me wellbutrin and abilify combination. what do you think about it?
Avatar f tn He needs a significant degree of structure and hopefully his school program is a small, highly structured, self-contained classroom for children who display serious emotional and behavioral problems. He may an increase in his Abilify. By the way, I do disagree with your conclusion that he cannot obtain the help he needs in out-of-home settings. Depending on the nature of the facility, he may well require more inpatient or residential treatment help.
Avatar f tn The drug worked wonders but I had problems with bladder while taking Abilify. I could not go to the bathroom.
Avatar n tn I started lamectal about 2 months ago and take abilify and trazadone as well. I have lost my hair significantly in the past 2 months. I take Lamectal twise a day 150 mg. Abilify 15 mg & 50 mg of trazadone. I also take 1mg of klonipin as needed. Could any of these be causing it - a combination? Any suggestions? Depression will never go away if I am bald. Please help. I would like to discontinue the one that is causing this.
Avatar f tn I have not had problems like that on Abilify whatsoever. Maybe it's just not the right medication for you.
642393 tn?1227032656 I just got Abilify about an hour ago my boyfriend is getting it filled now does anyone know anything about it Does it help? any side effects? By the way i don't think i am bipolar but it is for depression and my mood!! thank you all!!
Avatar m tn Abilify is an antipsychotic used as a mood stabilizer. It is relatively effective and its usual side effect being that its activating, meaning that it instead of making a person tired it can keep them awake. Quite common and happened to me as well as other people. It would help on bipolar but its doubtful it would help sleep but you could ask your psychiatrist more about this.

1696867 tn?1312609591 They put her on Lithium and then added abilify a week later. The abilify gave her horrible side effects and I never want to see my daughter in that condition again! I detest the drug Abilify. It is a reckless drug in my opinion. I have been prescribed Lamictal now for 3 years. It is the right med for me. I am not on the floor with depression and do not gain weight. I wish some could challenge their docs.
Avatar f tn HI,My Dr.told me once before I can just stop abilify. there is no need for a taper however that concerns me.I have been on low dose of 2 mg down to1 mfg of it for 10 months and i dont like how i feel so Im gonna stop it,does anyone have any experience with abilify?Has anyone stopped it with no problems. thanks..i feel best I think on just ativan.
790165 tn?1268836968 I got told by my new counsolor to go back to a phsyc doctor the get my meds reevaluated. I'm bipolar type II and she's thinking my 60 MGS of Cymbalta are doing nothing (I know they're not because I've had a couple thoughts of suicide that passed my mind). Well she's thinking mood stabilizers are a good idea as well. I don't know now if this post goes better in general health or here but I have heart problems.
Avatar f tn I'm in so much pain. It's like Satan placed his hairy *** cheeks on my life. Last August of 2015 I stopped taking Abilify, after taking it for a year because it caused me to shake a lot, and I was worried about getting tardive dyskinesia. Also, last year I've been working hard animating and drawing daily, because i want to be an animator.
2010625 tn?1329372056 I take Abilify and I haven't had any problems with it. You may need to call your psychiatrist so she/he can change your medication.
Avatar f tn i have been diagnosed with major depresion and general anxiety. I take abilify and venlaflaxine.
Avatar f tn My wife has had a head ache since January. The Dr. took her off of abilify because of muscle movement that would not stop [dti] Abilify has these effects on the side ,can the headaches be caused by being off this medicine.
918275 tn?1254068752 I am very leary about going on Lithium due to weight gain issues which I already have problems with. I wonder why she has not offered me Lamictal? I was glad to hear that Abilify gives you more energy and certainly hope that it will eventually do the same for me. I really need something to help me with the depressed side but I do not want more weight gain issues. Why do we have to trade off being thin and unhappy to being overweight if there is to be any chance of happiness.
17486028 tn?1457116819 HAVE TARDIVE DYSKINESIA FROM ANTISYSCHOTIC MEDICATIONS WAS ON ABILIFY AND RISPERIDONE MOVEMENT PROBLEMS
Avatar m tn Went to docs with unrelated problems but in talking my anxiety was evident and she asked about depression and I told her I wasn't suicidal and no desire to hurt myself or anyone else just was having a difficult time seeing the good in anything. Everyday tasks seemed very hard to do. Zero motivation although i do function well enough to get thru my days. i have never taken antidepressants before I am 33 yo male. She recommended I try meds.
