I'm glad to catch your post on Abilify. I have a full scrip of 5mg tabs and I'm suppose to start at 2.5mg. My pdoc wants me to try it because all SSRI's have failed and not much luck with anticonvulsants. My symptoms are depression, (possibly BP2) and/or ADD.
I have been scared to death because of all the TD info I read with the older and some newer antipsychotics. Are Abilify's stats pretty low so far for TD?
My pdoc and regular doc seem pretty unconcerned with this med especially for short term. They both seem to express TD usually comes after many years of exposure. It just freaks me a little bit because I can function without meds but it is a horrible struggle and I feel I need to try to find something to help me function daily versus having so many "off" days.
Do you take Abilify at night or morning? My doc prescribed it at night, but it seems I keep hearing about it being activating?
