In reply to Abilify or Seroquel? Thoughts, posted by sheilac on July 8, 2017, at 16:23:01

It is unclear what the Keppra is doing for you. Can you describe the benefits of taking it?What symptoms are you attempting to treat with Abilify? Is it helping at all?
If attempting to reduce the dosage of Abilify doesn't help reduce the side effects, you might look at Saphris (asenapine). It has both antipsychotic and antidepressant properties.
Are you still taking Geodon?
