In reply to Abilify and Zyprexa, posted by EAL on April 7, 2004, at 17:19:54
I take 5mg Abilify and 5 mg Zyprexa. My dx is not scitzophrenia but it's more like psycotic depression, GAD and BPD.
I can't take AD's so I'm stuck with the antipsychotics. For me, the combo has helped with hallucenations, hostility, racing thougts and general sluggishness. It has not helped with suicidal ideations, anxiety, (abilify worsens it) and mood swings. I also have fatigue w/pain. The Abilify helps a little with the fatigue but the Zyprexa knocks me right down. I have to take Halcion to sleep despite the fatigue.
Anyway, that's my experience. And yes, it is a safe combo so you do't need to worry about that.
Hope this helps,
SDJ
