Abilify?

Hi everyone I probably shouldn’t ask... but my psych after not having/currently a good time with Prozac thought we should try something different. He prescribed Abilify alone at 2.5mg. I know everyone’s different but he thought it could help with derealization and anxiety possibly? I’m just nervous because I’ve never tried something in this category before. Just if anyone has any positives or thoughts?

I think everyone is different . So for me I think it did not agree with my brain chemistry. It gave me a tremendous headache when I started it. And also when I cut back on it. I remember telling the pharmacist I wont take that anymore. Put that down on my file. Of course it does not mean you will have a problem with it. Wish I could give you a good report.

 

Hi Mark, 

I’m not familiar with that med. I’m on an ssri which is celexa10mg. It’s 7 months and I’m fine. It takes time for ssri’s to adjust in the body. It was ■■■■ going through the side effects for 3-5 months but the people on this forum pulled me through it. I looked up Abilify and it’s not an SSRI.  I wish I could help you more. 

How long were you on Prozac? And what strength?
