> Abilify is new and novel, but its still a neuroleptic..for me, once the dosage hit 10mgs, I felt "tired" in a sort of apathetic, listless way;
Yes, it seemed to get worse once I went up to 10mgs. I'm probably going to up my dose to 15mgs and then take it for just another week, unless it starts doing something. Right now it doesn't seem to be doing anything except making me want to take naps and making me feel a little agitated.
> It seems like a lot of docs are giving out Provigil and low-doses of other stims to help out w/ neuroleptic-induced tiredness. Maybe that's an option? Maybe a stimulating antidepressant, like Wellbutrin?
I don't seem to do so well with stimulants, even Provigil. But I could perhaps try tinkering with them to see if I could get any better results.
