aripiprazole use

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?

yes antipsychotic and called abilify in ireland and Us.

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. * Include a photo if relevant (skin condition for example): [Image 1](http://imgur.com/lIffDOF) , [Image 2] (http://imgur.com/eBoDCbc).

They are usually only prescribed for short term use. how come you have been prescribed them for so long? I should imagine your body has come to rely on them. Don't stop your anti-depressants though.

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....

t last long but this time my left leg and it wont go away and another doctor (internists) who said that i should do a vitamin D lab test as it is definitely the reason but i am not really convinced and i am just exhausted and asking for help for my leg and back pain and i take a weak paracetamol two times daily and Benfotiamine 40 mg +Vitamin B6 60 mg + Vitamin B12 250mcg in one medicine two times daily and Gabapentin (100mg) two times daily and also i take mental related medicine (Aripiprazole

First, let's look at the good news. Your MRI came out clear. That should ease your mind that there is nothing organically wrong with your brain. These other symptoms have me a bit stumped....but also concerned. You say you take Ativan and have since May of this year. Ativan should not cause the symptoms you're describing. The aripiprazole, (Abilify) is usally added as an adjunct to antidepressants, and some people exhibit a hypersensitivity to it.

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.

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.

Surely I took : Olanzapine, Aripiprazole, Lorazepam, quetiapine and Zypadhera. Maybe: more... It was not for depression, bipolar nor schizophrenia, but for some other thing, that is similar to schizophrenia.

Hello verna2 Tardive Dyskinesia is a neurological syndrome caused by the long-term use of neuroleptic drugs.

Do not take aripiprazole for longer than 6 weeks unless your doctor has told you to However in another site of Dr Jones: http://www.askdrjones.com/2005/02/14/ranking-the-mood-stabilizers/ it's written: Even after one year or more it continues to work well and has negligeable side effects. Which means use it for longer periods. Now my question how long am I supposed at most to use these AP's. Usually pdocs resort to low dose AP as a MS at first until they use AC. Is this so ?

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.

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."
