In reply to Replace Seroquel with Abilify?, posted by Roslynn on November 14, 2008, at 18:56:37
Hi Roslyn,
Abilify caused a surge in my anxiety. Some agitation too. The only positive thing is it was good for libido.
Indeed, I do find Seroquel to be much more calming.Maria

I'm not understanding this. don't they have different mechanisms of action with Seroquel being much more calming due to the antihistamine action at low doses? And Abilify would make you more agitated?
