Hi-struggling over here! I’ve been off of abilify now for about 19 days. I feel terrible! Jittery, anxious, low mood. I’m trying to debate if this is Withdrawl or the “real” me off of meds. Can someone fill me in on how they felt going off? Thanks!!
im sorry to hear this! what mg were you on and for how long? i only ask because ive been on 2.5-5mg ish depending on my pill cutter’s accuracy for about a week and a half. ive been having some bad blurry vision and hard time like focusing my eyes and brain almost? i hope your situation gets better?
hi! i was on 2 mg for about 3.5-4 months and then 1 mg for about 3 weeks and now on nothing. so you take either 2.5 mg or 5 mg? that might be part of the issue?? i talked with my doc last night and she wants me to start it back up at 1 mg. i am so torn on what to do. i feel pretty crappy yet i was off of it, which felt good. i am just curious if what i am feeling is rebound anxiety or withdrawl issues. do you feel better? are you taking it with another med too?
why did you go off. are you on anything else?
i am on cymbalta, 30 mg. i got off because i wanted to see if i was able to lose some weight. i haven’t gained per say, just haven’t lost much baby weight. Are you on it?
i remember textingyou a while ago can’t find anything that works o 28 days of devenlAFAXINE. when did cymbalta kick in
so abilify helped anxiety
im actually taking the abilify alone! he wanted to try it because some ssris and i have bad reactions. but the pill is 5 mg and he wanted me to start with half and there isnt a line where it divides so it kinda cuts as close to half as it can haha. but i should also mention i do take klonopin .25 mg once or twice a day depending on my anxiety levels. i dont think this combo is a miracle or where i want to stop if that makes sense its helped a slight bit but i know i can make much more progress.
oh yeah! hi. wait–what are you on? what have you tried? yes!! it really helped, within a week, i was feeling much much better. i tried to get off and i don’t think i am ready yet. cymbala, not sure–bc i started the abilify before it was kicked in.
oh interesting. my doc has suggested that in the future. i know for me, it helped after a week and then after two-three weeks, i was feeling really good. like normal-ish. i am starting back on 1 mg. it’s a tiny dose, but it helps, i guess? ssri’s don’t really agree with me either!
i am on devenlafaxine 50 for 28 days/ the nortriptyline made my blood pressure rise. do you have anxiety?
is it helping? i do-mixed w sleep issues. im going through a not so great time right now bc i stopped abilify. ask you doc about it! have you before?
why did you stop it. still to early to know if its working. better in afternoon and evening.
i hope it works!! if not, ask about abilify. i stopped it to try and lose some weight.
it definitely seemed to do something in the beginning but its been almost 2 weeks and im wondering if i should go up to 5 mg like my doctor said or if i should hold at about 2.5 more consistently. i hope it does pull thru more and i see huge improvements, i feel right now its helped but maybe by a small percentage and i feel theres so much more room to get better yet.
i would try and stay at one dose for at least a week and see if that helps. i actually restarted it–i need it right now, i think. blah. i did 2 days at 1 mg and now 1 day at 2 mg. we shall see how it goes. i am feeling pretty crappy right now, but hopefully will fade away here soon.
