I might be pregnant and my psychiatrist told me not to worry about the embryo. He told me that even while I'm taking 15 mg of Aripiprazole and 50 mg of Sertraline daily, there is no danger. I'm really worried. if I'm pregnant,would these doses harm my embryo being taken daily?
What is the lethal dose of aripiprazole, quetiapine and lamotrigine? Mix of them.
Hi I'm on 50mg of methadone and 10mg of aripiprazole and I'm wondering if I should keep taking the 2 together as it makes me mega drowsy and also is this combination a thing to worry av about can someone let me know please?
I would try replacing the Aripiprazole (Abilify) and the Sertraline (Zoloft) by taking 25mg of 5-HTP 3x Daily for 1 week as anymore than this could induce Serotonin Syndrome. I would then recommend swapping the tablets out for a 5-HTP transdermal patch which will release a more even dose of 5-HTP throughout the day especially if you have BPD as otherwise the oral form could cause mania.
Fluoxetine 40mg/day, Aripiprazole 2.5 mg/day.

2 anti psychotics,one is trifluoperazine and trihexyphenidyl hydrochloride combo and other one aripiprazole mt 5 and 1 mg of lorazepam for sleep. i want to see my pdoc but i am afraid he will give me ect as i saw some nurses in his room which i never seen in past 12 years. i am quite numb and can't respond to any kind of assault. it is really frustrating. since i am on anti psychotics, can i stop it by taking half for 15 days and then quarter for 15 days.
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?
Venlafaxine is used to treat general anxiety and abilify(aripiprazole) is used to treat depression.
Good luck!!!!
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.
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....
This is my first pregnancy. Even typing those words freaks me out. I have PTSD and as it were only remembered that a few days ago (this should indicate the level of shock I am from being pregnant...yes I know where babies come from so it's not that type of shock:)
I have been to the Doctor's, but failed to mention my condition as the Doctor was freaking me out with her 1000's of questions and somewhat condescending attitude towards my responses to some of those questions.
How can I help my boyfriend with ptsd when he shuts off and ends our relationship saying he's causing me too much mental stress, all I do is contact him and make things worse but I'm hurting so much and don't know what to do, right now I just wish I would die and take all this pain away that im feeling, how can someone leave you even thought they say they love you, what can I do to show him I want to be with him through the good and the bad?
I do not know what kind of help in available in Australia. I would say at the least, you would have PTSD. It is a wonder that you are sane at all. Allow yourself time to heal, you have been through hell on earth. When you go through a tramatic event such as rape and can't remember it, it is because sometimes we have to disassociate to make it through an event. Please make sure you have the right supports in place to be able to testify in your defense.
I should have said that I quit norco altogether but insomnia coupled with the intense anxiety prompted me to take 1/2 norco, as of today took full 10 mg. have PTSD so am in a jam.
I am bipolar with severe PTSD, I am disabled because of it and was told I need EMDR treatments. I REFUSE to go to my local city mental health agency because they just want to drug you up. I have been this way since I was a child and am 55 now and I do take some medication, but I won't take all they want me to take. I became addicted to drugs years ago because of this.
My husband suffers ptsd from 3iraq tours. He is sick but its a sick u can't see. This is our last baby and I feel alone. I always ask him how he is and if he needs anything. I'm trying but this is when I need him most. I'm 24 weeks along and he never asks how I feel, can I get I anything, rub my back, hold my tummy nothing. He did all of that with our other two and I wanted this to be special. I feel like I'm pregnant and alone.
I am an Army wife and live around people suffering from PTSD including my husband. It would be nice to have a place to go here for help or to offer help for others with PTSD.
Well, 18 years after experiencing a trauma, battling depression, anxiety etc...my doctor recently said i have symptoms of PTSD. I did some research and I can say I agree.
But that scared me now. I have been on on some anti-depressants for 12 years and they helped somewhat but now I think I need serious therapy as well.
My question is: Even though in my research it nowhere mentions hallucinations, someone told me PTSD cause hallucinations and scared the **** out of me.
