To follow up to my earlier post, combinination of klonopin and low-dose (2.5mgs) Abilify pooped out after 2 months. Initial energizing, pro-social effects gradually disappeared, and by the end of the trial I was so drowsy and apathetic (and ten pounds heavier than when I started) that I discontinued the Abifily. Rebound depression has ensued from the withdrawal. I am currently on 1mg of Klonopin and 600mgs of Lithium. Pdoc wants me to go on Wellbutrin since he thinks dopaminergic meds do help me. I am reluctant to try given that a trial of Nardil a year ago made me temporarily paranoid psychotic. Any thoughts or suggestions?
