My pdoc has prescribed a low dose of Abilify (taper up to 5mg) for my panic attacks. I'm housebound from anxiety.
I'm currently taking 1mg of Klonopin 3x a day.
I've been on everything practically except for MAOIs.
I can't seem to take any SSRIs or SNRIs. I just came off a trial of Cymbalta which caused me extreme nausea, chest pain and heart palpitations.
I just don't seem to respond to meds like normal people.
But what I'm wondering is if anyone has ever had any success with Abilify for anxiety. I can't take many of the anti-psychotics due to blood sugar issues.
From what I've read on here it seems like Abilify causes anxiety but does not alleviate it.
I feel like I'm at the end of the line. I'm also sick of being a guinea pig. This has been going on too long.
If anyone has a good experience let me know.
Thanks.
