In reply to Abilify helped last night..., posted by TrishP on March 14, 2007, at 6:53:17
Hi glad that Abilify is helping you. I wanted to try it but it is not available in Costa Rica where I now reside. I've heard that it is more weight neutral than the other antipsycotics. I have gained a lot of weight on Zyprexa which is pissing me off.
I am Bipolar and currently I'm taking 10 mg of Zyprexa, 100 mg of Lamictal, 20 mg of Lexapro, and 1.5 mg of Rivotril (Clonazepam/Klonopin).
My PDOC said she might try Topamax for me next week which is said to help to lose weight. I want to ditch the Zyprexa as it is also causing muscle rigidity and I'm sure 'blunting' of my old vibrant creative self. I'll be posting how I feel on Topamax as I go along. All the best to you!
