Hi Scott,
> I had second thoughts about submitting my previous post after I posted it. You know yourself better than anyone. Perhaps the coldness will dissipate. I experience the same thing early on when I take MAOIs, especially when they are combined with tricyclics. Like you, I bury myself beneath a comforter.MAOI's too huh? They don't warn us about this body temperature thing and I've been pretty sure I'm not just imagining it. I hope the coldness does wear off. Before July. :)
> Please post of your progress! I will be very, very interested to know if and when your side effects, including the over-stimulation, disappear and at what dosage.Okay. But rest assured I'll end up at the low end of the dosage spectrum if I stay with this drug. You take low doses too, don't you?
> > If only I weren't so cold... What is apopmorphine? Is it known to make people feel cold? Is its action similar to abilify?
>
> Apomorphine is a drug that mimicks dopamine. It has been used in the past for Parkinsons in a manner similar to Parlodel, Permax, and Mirapex. It is now being considered for sexual erectile dysfunction and is marketed in countries outside the US. It has been used extensively in neuroscience for animal experiments. One of the effects it is known to produce is hypothermia. Abilify acts like apomorphine in some respects (DA2 autoreceptor agonist).Ah. Interesting.
> I wish you well on your trial of Abilify.
Thanks.
