In reply to What AAP helps most with motivation/concentration?, posted by conundrum on May 12, 2010, at 12:44:10
> Just wanted to hear from those who have taken atypical antipsychotics which ones have helped with motivation and concentration the most. Also if you found some that helped could you post how long you were taking them?
My knee-jerk reaction to your question was to mention Zyprexa. The first time I tried Zyprexa, I experienced what I would describe as clarity of thought along with motivation. I now take Abilify 10mg and find that it helps somewhat with motivation, but not so much with concentration. Zyprexa often produces weight-gain and insulin resistence early in treatment. Abilify can produce weight-gain, but it seems to be a delayed effect that develops gradually. It can also produce an increase in trigylcerides.
