Not to good at the moment. I was taking Abilify which was working okay, but I experienced a dizzy, almost faint spell, paniced and stopped it just to make sure it was the Abilify. What happened was I ran outside in the freezing cold to cover a faucet then came back inside to a very warm house. Come to find out, Abilify can mess with your bodys thermal regulation and it was probaly the cause.
I also had a desire to try Adderall XR, which was speedy and inconsistant, not smooth like Concerta was for me. I like trying drugs alone if possible and although this is a long tedious process, at least if I go back and do a combo, I'll know which med is doing what.
I'm thinking about restarting the Abilify and if I experience a little anxiety, take Keppra along with it. Do you like these two meds together?
I'm now wishing I hadn't stopped the Abilify because it did help with motivation and depression better than any med I've tried. I'm also a little scared about TD, although this med is sort of in a class by itself and it may not be much to worry about.
