This is going to sound weird. And your doctor probably wouldn't like the idea.
Have you tried Kira st johns wort? You get dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, gaba, and glutamate. And you get opioid action that relaxes the bladder. It has to be the Kira brand. It is the LI160 formula used in most clinical trials. Sold at Rite-Aid.
If lexapro worked, then maybe just go back to it and somehow work on the bladder thing.
Even without the rage, I like the idea of getting off abilify, as long as it doesn't put you in jeopardy of major depression with suicidal thoughts. Longterm antipsychotic use is just begging for trouble down the road.
Maybe 5mg lexapro and 300mg Kira sjw. Or just Kira by itself at 600mg.
I don't know. It's tough. I wish I had more ideas right this moment. If I think of some I'll re-post. Hopefully someone will come up with more ideas. Without trial and error there really is no way to tell.
There is the outside possibility that there is some bipolar stuff going on here and that abilify sparked off a bad type of mania.
