I have a question : you talk about how adding aripiprazole to an antidepresent increases the Aripiprazole what effect does that have, and do you mean the aripiprazole is more potent or just stays in the blood stream longer
If it's not working after 3 days - ditch it. My bipolar 1 was made worse by this stuff - risperidone works for me for phychosis and mania and 0.5mg in the morning is good too.
pt 2. they decided it wasnt swine flu but it could be the aripiprazole but to this day they dont know. i was on 10 and im 16 and at that point was also taking citalopram 60 and had been taking that for many months. i was perscribed aripiprazole for anxiety. i now no longer take any medication much to my doctors dismay. do you have any idea what could have caused it?
Terrible Medication i was on Abilify (Aripiprazole) for 1 month and it did absolutely nothing for my depression caused me to get insomnia and i was barely able to sleep for more than 1-2 hours a night, Very Activating stimulating med. Did nothing for Depression or anything. Seroquel Works much better
ANYONE!... I've Had Really Bad News For Respiredone, Olanzapine and aripiprazole... Can Someone PLEASE Tell Me What The Overall Best For AntiPsychotic Med Would Beee!.....
what is your opinion on this medication being used to augment clozaril in an individual who achieves high serum levels and cannot be further increased?
hey doc I've been suffering from treatment resistant depression and anxiety, I am thinking of tryng aripiprazole, as I want a serotonin antagonist, as i found that cyproheptadine helps my condition massively, also i believe the partial dopamine agonist properties will be beneficial, I have used ssri's in the past nd also suffer from anhedonia from the ssri's do you think aripiprazole could be a good choice for me? cheers
The abilfy (aripriprozal) di nothing on the psychotic sypmtoms and was activating at night which is worse than useless. Quetiapine was tried same as olanzapine, worse psychosis and constipation but both are sedating. Went back to a smaller dose of risperidone and that is working. So our experience of bipolar affective disorder with psychotic symptoms is risperidone works but has the prolactin side effect. Does coborgeline work to counter this Doc?
Thanks Doctor of Mind - very useful and informative - our son has Bipolar Affective Disorder and his last episode in November 2009 got better after about 6 weeks on Risperidone but he suffered mild galatorrhoea. He takes 1000mg semisodium valproate at night - after a slight resurgence of psychotic symptoms we are advised to use 5mg mornin and 10mg at night because Aripriprazole does not have the raised prolactin side effect but has similar efficacy as risperidone - would you agree with that?
I was on this drug for a week and experienced worsening anxiety and panic, and mood. I was told to try to stay on it to see if the side effects pass. At this point Klonopin is the only thing that works. This new "mood stabiliser" has done nothing for me.
My history is sketchy. Fly by bipolar diagnosis, which is not considered to be even my problem. Some docs say MDD, other's say dysthymia. Most just say a straight up anxiety disorder.
I was also cycling being bedridden depressed not eating for a week and then optimistic moving forward for two weeks and the aripiprazole immediately stopped that. Though it really feels like how I think an antidepressant should feel. I'm not suffering disabling fatigue anymore either.
My pdoc took me off invega because it was raising my prolactin levels and now im on Abilify and Celexa. I can't sleep anymore. I take it in the morning and I wake up every hour or couple of hours. Do you think this combo is useful for schizo affective disorder?
I've been diagnosed with borderline psychosis and depression. It didn't do anything for me other than give me strange nightmares and make symptoms worse.
I am a text book bipolar affective and if I get too hypo for too long I usually get a full range of psychotic sypmtoms - risperdone works on this makes me over tired but Prolactin raised to 2600 against 300 is aripriprozal a suitable alternative. I am on Depakote 1000 mg at night and am well at moment?
I bought both shirts!!!!!!!! Super comfortable and a real conversation opener. Can't wait to wear it to the Jersey Shore!!!!! Get yours now while they're still cheap!
On one of my hospital stays, they were passing this s**t out like candy. Suddenly everyone on the ward was taking it. I saw all the Abilify clocks stationary, and candy jars but if you say anything that usually gets you a couple more days(free samples). When I got home and continued taking it, I paced like a dog in a kennel. I'm off it now but it sent me ten years back. Paying for commercials at the mentally ill's expense.
Good info. Along with Stahl, I use your videos to keep abreast of my psychopharmacology.
It is interesting how the industry is trying to push the atypicals as augmentation therapy for depression (Seroquel XR is the flavor of the month right now).
hi doc u are the best u explain the side effects co and pro of prescripti0n medication i have learn3d a lot more from u than what i have from any sychiatrist i have ever spoken too keep up the good work
I like how much thought you put into these meds and how you must obviously take the time to memorize what you need to-not all docs are like you-i dont think they take all factors into consideration-i appreciate that about you-how you still care how it affects the body too-
well that can mean its helping mania (psychiatrically) or causing side effects ( psychomotor retardation or akinesia) its difficult to say here need to get checked .
Please watch ABILIFY KILLS on YouTube - - ABILIFY is a dangerous drug that causes death!
