It's been a while. . . New Cocktail -Abilify

Posted by AnneL on March 1, 2007, at 11:13:44

Hi P-Babblers,
I have been away for quite a while. Finally went to see my daughter's pdoc whom I have great respect and admiration, and I am willing to try her recommendations. My cocktail thus far, is Effexor 225 mg. (been on this x 7 years), clonazepam 1 mg. at bedtime (same amount of time), new med: Rozerem for sleep, Provigil 50 mg. (1/4 tab) on when awake (I am a night shift person) and today I started Abilify 2 mg. to see if this gives me mood stability and stops the crash and burn cycle.
Anyone with experience taking low-dose Abilify? I am to start at 2 mg. x 3 days and go up to 5 mg. if I do not have side effects. Of course, I was instructed to call if I experience any motor problems, muscle twitching, etc.
I am a little scared of possible EPS, but i think the dose is so small. Another concern is akathesia. Any and all responses would be appreciated. Thanks! AnneL
