abilify

Avatar f tn With sertraline there are very limited studies, and with some SSRIs there is evidence of withdrawal in the baby when it is born - again it is recommended that it is used in pregnancy only if the risk of you coming off it is greater.
Avatar f tn What is the lethal dose of aripiprazole, quetiapine and lamotrigine? Mix of them.
774805 tn?1235948571 yes antipsychotic and called abilify in ireland and Us.
Avatar m tn t take them together, leave at least 24 hours from your last dose of Sertraline before you take your first dose of 5-HTP. If your withdrawals from the Aripiprazole cause you problems add in 900mg St Johns Wart 2x daily and this should help with the symptoms.

Avatar f tn I have been off my meds because i ran out of refills for 21 days now (i used to take 10mg aripiprazole, 80mg duloxotine, and bupropion HCL XL 300mg.) i dont know if that would effect my period but it’s worth a shot putting it out there. I feel as though something is really wrong but I cannot afford a doctor/emergency care because i have no insurance or income. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Does anyone know what’s happening with my body?
918275 tn?1254068752 Although this case report adds to the literature on atypical results of atypical antipsychotics, caution needs to be used while interpreting the results, since aripiprazole is approved for the treatment of acute mania. Possible differences in response to aripiprazole in patients with bipolar affective disorder versus those with schizoaffective disorder need to be investigated. Furthermore, a drug screen was not performed to assure the patient’s denial of substance abuse""".
Avatar f tn t get rid of all our symptoms -- they were all invented as short-term mitigation in the hope that while they are helping we can work better in therapy to fix our problems, though that doesn't, obviously, always work. Good luck.
Avatar f tn I have just started taking Aripiprazole(Abilify) and have found it to have some beneficial effects on my mood. However I am also finding myself to be extremely drowsy. I have heard that this side effect wears off with time. Has anyone else experienced this? It's the first antipsychotic I've taken that's had any effect so I don't want to stop it but the fact I can literally go to sleep while standing up is making my life difficult.
Avatar f tn What time are you taking it? You could try taking it in the morning because it typically keeps people awake and causes restlessness. Also, when i first started on aripiprazole (abilify) i experienced some side effects but they went away after a couple of weeks. Hopefully yours will go away as well, if they don't go away,however, talk to your psychiatrist. You don't have to deal with any unwanted side effects if you don't want to. That is what mine always tells me anyways....
Avatar m tn t feel my leg as it have became heavy but as i said slightly but noticeable and i actually cant wait till Saturday as i am using a crutch and using my hand and one leg to move my body as the left leg hurts when i move it and specially when i put pressure and it feels like a nerve not a muscle nor a bone as i have had pain in both (broken arm due to an accident and muscles during workout and spasms) and i haven't had any surgery i only complained of back pain for the bottom to the top but nev
1257808 tn?1322762215 Good choice on the Zyprexa! I won't put my two cents in on that drug. I have heard good things from many people about Abilify. We'll keep our fingers crossed.
1348086 tn?1370783185 Yesterday I was fine for most of the day. My mother (she is 78) fell yesterday in the early evening and she will be all right but she busted her nose and knee and we had to get her to the hospital by ambulance. My therapist says that my mom is the culprit to my anxiety and other mental issues. When this happened I was on my way to pick up my daughter from the ex-wife. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep last night.
Avatar m tn I had a blood-analysis made and it showed that concentration of hormones in my blood was good. Concentration of testestorone, concentration of oestradiol and free androgen index were even higher than norm. Other things measured in blood-analysis were also quite normal and there was nothing remarkable in blood analysis. I have not taken antipsychotics for over a year but my libido has not recovered. It is known that antipsychotics cause decrease of libido.
Avatar f tn t taken an antipsychotic all these years though I wish they had caught up with the tardive in time before it progressed this far. But with new treatments in the works for schizophrenia such as the glutamate antagonists (of which I'm on glycine as a study compound and fully recovered) hopefully people with schizophrenia won't get it anymore after they become medications. And right now I'm recovering well with the rhodiola as I've mentioned as well as the Tizanidine.
20922415 tn?1661860103 If pregnancy occurs, progesterone is produced in the placenta, and levels remain elevated throughout the pregnancy. The combination of high estrogen and progesterone levels suppresses further ovulation during pregnancy. Progesterone also encourages the growth of milk-producing glands in the breast during pregnancy. High progesterone levels are believed to be partly responsible for symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), such as breast tenderness, feeling bloated, and mood swings.
Avatar m tn I am going to try replacing that for a short time with a Fentanyl Patch to see if I have any improvement in Pain Mgmt. I am just wondering what regimen I should use to safely do this. For example. Is it as easy as waiting 12 hrs. after my last Opana ER and then apply the patch (it's a 3 day patch) then take another ER once the 3 days has expired? Please let me know as I am going to try this either way. Thank you.
Avatar n tn The long-term efficacy of aripiprazole in the treatment of schizophrenia has not been established. The physician who elects to use Abilify for extended periods should periodically reevaluate the long-term usefulness of the drug for the individual patient." You may already be aware of this classification, but just thought I'd clarify for others who might be reading this post.
Avatar n tn m not thinking like Big Pharma. LOL #1 prescribed brings in 13% of what #?? Abilify brings in...gotta think of a way to charge those hypos more for their meds... Hmmm...maybe that's why the price of levo (all brands and generics) just took a huge jump.

Avatar f tn Looking for an expert to advise. We are in the UK, Our daughter 27 has been dx with Asperger's in 2007. She always turned to food during her exam stress and been overweight as a result. Not being dx for such a long time caused her more stress and has been stressful for the parents too. She had a psychotic episode in 2005/2006 which finally helped her being assessed/diagnosed/treated. With Abilify she's a lot improved and studying at postgraduate level in the University.
Avatar f tn Patients should not use ABILIFY if they are allergic to aripiprazole or any of the ingredients in ABILIFY. Allergic reactions have ranged from rash, hives and itching to anaphylaxis, which may include difficulty breathing, tightness in the chest, swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue.
Avatar f tn The atypical antipsychotics can often cause weight gain in both children and adults. Abilify, (aripiprazole) is less likely to cause weight gain or metabolic problems." (from - http://www.baltimorepsych.com/NonStimulants.htm). Point being is that if all he is taking now is risperdal and he is not getting a help either med wise or behavioral therapy for his ADHD - then his ADHD is probably making both his and your life pretty miserable.
Avatar m tn I have been taking sertraline and aripiprazole for schizo-affective disorder I have now been been put onto amitriptyline for pain relief. I am also epileptic and take tegretol, lamotrigine and levetiracetam to control seizure's.
Avatar n tn Hello Doctor, I am a 30 y/o male. I live in Hong Kong and back in July I took a trip to the USA to visit my family. I had been taking a combination of Effexor XR 37.5 & Lamictal 25mg with good results (about a year) for what I thought was treatment resistant depression and anxiety. The problem started the day after I returned to China. Had a busy 1st day, we did not have any food at home, so my GF wanted to go to the local supermarket to buy some snacks.
