In reply to Fast acting options for suicidal ideation?, posted by Racer on May 6, 2008, at 10:00:21
Hi Racer,
I will be the third to endorse Abilify. I found the effects kicked in after only about 4 days. I did not have startup anxiety or akathisia, but did have about 8 weeks of insomnia. YMMV, of course, but I find it pretty tolerable.
You said Zyprexa was off the table. Even for, say, a week? I found it put a *very* fast stop to suicidal thoughts within a couple of days and I did not revert too badly when I stopped it a couple of weeks later.
I'm sorry you're feeling so awful. Good luck.
