Hi. It's me again with a new combo of meds. My doctor stopped the Seroquel finally and has started me on Abilify and Prozac on Tuesday. The Abilify is 5mg and the Prozac is 20mg. I've never taken these before and was wondering what kind of luck any of you have had with these meds. Have any of you taken them together? ON the info page about Abilify it mentioned adjusting your dose of Prozac if you take these two together but the doctor didn't mention it. The suicidal thoughts have stopped since starting the Abilify but I can't sleep. It takes me 2 hours to fall asleep at night and I wake up every 2 hours after that. I also am having crazy vision problems at night. When I shut my eyes or leave them open in the dark, I see bright lights like a flashlight in my eyes and then see flashing lights. It's very scary and won't stop until I turn the lights on. Once it's dark it starts up again. I don't know if anyone has had this experience before. I also am seeing things out of the corner of my eye that aren't there that really startle me at first. I've never had these problems before. I know it hasn't been long enough on the Prozac to be able to tell a difference, but in about a hour after taking it in the morning, I start to feel achey and fevered. This lasts until late in the evening just to start up again in the morning after taking it. I'm riding it out and haven't mentioned any of this to my pdoc yet. I see him next week Thursday. I hate to call and complain to him about side effects. I was just wanting to ask the experts (ya'll) about what you know and have gone through with these meds. I have complete faith and trust in all of you. Thanks so muck, CEK
