Abilify and Zyprexa

Posted by EAL on April 7, 2004, at 17:19:54

I have been taking zyprexa for a number of years. And, like a lot of other people on this list, gained a lot of weight and slept 12 hours a night.
I have been on abilify for about 3 weeks. On abilify, I only sleep 8 hours and am not hungry. (When I tried abilify several months ago I developed akineskthia from taking 10 mg, but now I'm only taking 2.5 and I don't have that problem.)

My question is how do people find this drug for controlling the positive and negative symptoms of schizoprehnia? (I like zyprexa better for psych. symptoms.) Also, is it wrong to be taking zyprexa and abilify together. I read that this is the case because they are both Dopamine D2 Agtagonsim. WHat would be the side effects from doing this?

Thanks,
EAL
