Abilify and insomnia

Posted by busub on March 30, 2016, at 12:13:24

So I started a trial of abilify a couple months ago and found that it worked really well on my mood (no more random dips) when paired with paxil. My mood is a lot more stable now but still find myself a little on the sad side of neutral, which I'm not too disappointed about. However, what's really been killing me is the insomnia. No matter what time I go to bed I wake up at 3am and fall back asleep off and on until my wake up time at 5:30am. As a result I'm tired through the day and sucking back caffeine to stay up. Is it worth sticking out and dealing with or should I be looking for a replacement?

Thanks.

Currently on 50mg Paxil CR and 2mg Abilify daily. Taken in morning. I've been looking at alternatives like Rexulti, but am intrigued by Buspar and its ability to possibly relieve sexual dysfunction that's been plaguing me by both the paxil and abilify. Anyone with experience?

PS, also find that it makes me gorge on food at night. No weight gain yet because I'm managing my intake during the day to allow myself to gorge at night.
