Wondered if anyone had tried Abilify and could compare it to Seroquel. I took Abilify (for my anxiety) for a week and about lost it. I am an anxious person as is and that stuff made me think I was going insane.
When my pdoc decided to give the atypicals a try he mentioned Seroquel and Abilify and we settled on Abilify because it seem to have less side effects. After my Abilify experience, I had pretty much written off the Atypicals but now I wonder if Seroquel might be worth a shot. Are the methods of action that different?
If the Atypicals don't work then I am pretty much left with mood stabalizers/ anti-convulsants. Probably Lamictal as I have tried just about everything else. I am wondering if I should bother with Seroquel given my reation to Abilify or go straight to Lamictal.
Klonopin has been the one med that has worked for me but it has certain side effects after long term use that I really need to be rid of.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Dan
