In reply to Anyone with Abilify Experiences?, posted by Mike634 on December 21, 2004, at 18:07:23
I was trying to switch from Geodon to Abilify about a week ago because of sedation. I started Abilify for two days at 5mgs and got even more sedated and sore weak muscles. I also got a bit of the insomnia people so often get with Abilify. I didn't give it enough time to see if it was activating because I was still taking the Geodon along with it so I was still sedated. I have given up on the switch due to other circumstances in my life and will reevaluate the situation at my next pdocs appointment. My doctor wanted me to try an ultra low dose of Seroquel 25mgs but I wanted the Abilify. I'm thinking now I should have gone along with his plan. I have been in somewhat of a recovery for about 6 months so I think he thinks I may need only a tiny dose of something. I think I will save Abilify for maybe my last choice.
