Hi sdj:
One more thing about which I forgot to mention in my previous post due to 'in a hurry,' .... if you want to stay on 'Abilify,' and then try to take 'COGENTIN' that might be for 'Parkinson's disease,' but some saying it works 'GREAT,' ... not only chase away SE from taking Abilify also good for 'Anxiety.'
Another for 'sedating effect,' ... unfortunately, this, SE of Zyprexa takes quite awhile, ... maybe almost a month or so. But, if it does not go away, try to take Zyprexa in the evening after supper or one hour later. If this does not yet help, and then you may ask 'Geodon.' However, in order to take Geodon, you must be confident in 'heart' system, ... even sometime 'EKG' before prescribe this med., Geodon, ... just for precaution, ... that I heard. Geodon has 'some' stimulating effect, ... but never like Abilify.
Also, I TOTALLY AGREE with expensiveness of those AP meds., ... did you ask your pdoc. for 'Free' med. program that means drug/pharmatecal co. sends 'free med.' about 3-6 months' supply at a time. I was once on this program due to 'mass/mega' psycho. med. regimen. You need to talk to your pdoc. face to face and convince how desperately you need those meds. in order to get by/function daily life. Don't need to be 'pity,' ... but have to be assertive, yet need a good communication/rapport with your pdoc. On 'Search Engine,' type 'Free Med.' ... you can find Free med.'s sites and also access to 'How to apply 'Free Med.'that needs your pdoc.'s signature.
This is all I know regarding psycho. meds.
If there is any other question, please post it back.
