Geodon, Abilify,Seroquel for BPI, OCD

Posted by banga on March 30, 2005, at 13:48:18

Hi,
how many of you out there have used either of these meds for BPI that is primarily with hypomania/mania?

How are they for psychotic/thought distortions?

Anyone use them for OCD?

Hey banga - Did you know there are some Yahoo groups for ocd? I belong to several of them and they're great! Everyone either has OCD or has a family member/spouse with OCD. There's an OCD Relationships group and an OCD Support group. I'm sure there are others, but those are a couple that I belong to. You'll probably get more response to your question about meds there.

Thanks for the hint. I will have to take a look. It is not for me, for a relative who has BPI, but she is also excessively organized and phobic and has complex methods to combat phobias to such a degree that they could be called rituals. Though her psychotic BPI needs to be addressed first, term she needs help with this to help keep her from relapses.

I am taking Abilify for Bi-Polar I and for OCD PTSD... so far been feeling foggy, told that it should clear up soon, so far last two days has been fair, just waiting to see, only been on meds for 3 weeks now.

I take geodon for the thoughts, they get speedy. It works prety good at a high dose for me. Not many side effects. I didn't like the abilify. Have not tried seroquel.
