Help with Abilify vs Geodon...

Posted by sheilac on October 15, 2013, at 11:35:46

Don't worry, I haven't changed my meds again.

I am taking under advisement what the specialist had to say. And, I might actually discuss it with my current pdoc. She may be upset I consulted another doc, but, what the heck.

He wants me to take Oxtellar XR 600mg (not crazy at being his lab rat on this med) once a day at night and one in the morning. I'll probably be blind as a bat and nauseous as all get out. Trileptal over 900mg, I've found makes me nausous. I'm better dosing it 3 times a day at 300mg. Still effects my vision terrible though.

He also wants me to switch (over time - taper off Geodon) from Geodon to 5mg Abilify.

I'm afraid of getting fat from Abilify. It makes me swell up and crave sweets.

Anyone know of the weight gain associated with Abilify over Geodon.

So far, I've had no weight gain with Geodon.
