Q: question about aripiprazole (abilify) tablets?
I am about to start taking ARIPIPRAZOLE (ABILIFY) tablets in conjunction with seroquil have you done this?
my psychiatrist has just given me these new tablets to try mainly because i was putting on so much weight on just the seroquil

have you taken these tablets before, i need them for PT SD OCD panic attacks and depression

if you could tell me how you got on i am hoping i will feel a bit more part of life on them as at the moment i am just existing

thanks for your answers

A: I’m on albilify and seroquel now. have been since xmas.
seems ok but have noticed Im a bit more irritable but am more alert and awake than I was on seroquel and risperadol. Also I’ve started to lose some of the weight I’ve put on with the other medications I’ve had to take.

You will feel more alive, I can actually imagine myself doing things now and I’m getting them done instead of it just being too hard to even think about them.

All you can do is try it.
Good luck

how long until i see and feel a difference

thanks for your answers

A: Yes I have taken aripiprazole along with Quetiapene (Seroquel). It didnt work for me but everyone is different – it just didnt help my mood or anxiety. I am now on Duloxetine with the seroquel and it has made a great difference, but you just cant say what will work for other people. Hope it works for you!

I have found that taking the herb tea “Tension Tamer” has helped and I have gotten herb books and found that there are herbs that are available in tea form that have a 2 – 3000 year history behind them

Q: Abilify [Aripiprazole]…Who takes it or has tried it?
My doctor gave me 5mg Tablets today to try for a while because I didn’t like taking Lithium…[Which he wanted me to take the Abilify and the Lithium together, but I don't want to, lol.] If you’ve tried Abilify, please tell me about it. Did it work? What side effects did you get? Etc. Thanks!
I’m taking it for Bi-Polar also, what is everyone else taking it for? I just read on medicinenet.com that it’s used for Schizophrenia?

A: Haven’t used it personally, but we’ve started a number of our patients on it (India). By far the reports are promising. We give it our patients with either schizophrenia or psychosis but also to some of our bipolar patients who respond very well to it. It’s got a very different mode of action and far far less side-effects than so many of the other neuroleptics (Clozaril, Seroquel etc).

If you do take Lithium, I’m sure you’re doc would have told you, but you would need to have frequent tests to monitor the levels of Lithium in your system because it has a very low toxic:therapeutic ratio.

Hope this helps you in some way.

Q: Why aren’t I losing weight?
I’m 16 years of age, 173cms, and I weigh 70kgs. I’m on Aripiprazole and Fluoxetine tablets. For two weeks, I have carefully watched my diet, exercised on my exercise bike – I burn anywhere between 200 and 400 calories a day – and I haven’t lost a single pound. I recently discovered that the Amulsulpride I was on had a weight gain side effect, so I’ve stopped taking it. I also know that Aripiprazole has a very, very rare – less than 1 in 10′000 people have it – weight gain side effect. I weighed myself yesterday – eleven stone exactly. I just weighed myself now – 11 stone 5. What the hell is going on with my weight and how do I slim down to 64kgs?
Also, I am a severe haemophiliac and can’t do most sports.
I don’t have a man’s intake of 2500 calories and I’ve just burned 255 calories just now. I burned 150 earlier and 200 in the morning. And that’s all happened today. Good enough?

A: you are not losing wait because you are gaining muscles

Q: A New Drug?
First off,
I’m going through Peg-Intron & Ribavirin treatment for hcv
My doctor has started me on “ABILIFY” (aripiprazole) My trouble is he told me to start with two 10 mg tablets at night! The next day I was very light headed? (I drive a city bus) And now I have been taking only one 10 mg tablet for 3 nights now. I’m not as light headed all the time But, I now spill & drop things Very Often! I also catch myself spacing out! Is there other drugs that would help me with my mood changes / depression and won’t make me look like a fool (dropping things, and spacing out) I’ve spoke with my doctor and he wants me to stay on the same meds 20 mg(“it takes everyone a while to get use to this drug”) I forgot to ask him what is this drug for? Has anyone else had this trouble? HELP! What should I do? Stay on 20 mg? Or stay depressed & foolish and take 10 mg ?? Thanks Everyone

A: First of all – aripiprazole isn’t an antidepressant – so the dude who recommended St. John’s Wort (which has only been shown to be effective in mild-moderate depression) needs to get his facts straight. I am from Canada and this drug is not yet available here, so I did a little research for you. Aripiprazole is a novel antipsychotic which is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia and as a mood stabalizer in bipolar disorder. I can tell you that normally with this type of medication you do develop a tolerance to the side effects you are experiencing (the clumsiness and dizziness). We can minimize these effects by titrating the dose (ie: start with a lower dose and slowly increase it as tolerated). However, sometimes people do not tolerate a medication well and we have to try another medication. There are many options available for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. But it takes time to find the right drug for you. Without knowing your full medical history I couldn’t make any recommendations. Trial and error (and giving the drug a real chance to work) are important. Stick it out for a few more days……then try the 20 mg again. If its still too much for you, try 15……then 20 again. You need to be open and honest with your doctor. Work together to find the right medication and dose for you. Each person is unique and finding the right medication for you may take some time. You need to committ to getting your life back.

Q: I can’t sleep can any one help me?
I am currently taking aripiprazole 20mg for psychosis and fluxoxetine 20mg for depression I am also taking zolpidem 10mg but the 10Mg’s of zolidem is not enough (its a sleeping tablet like zopiclone) 20Mg’s is enough for me but my doctor said that I must only take 10Mg’s, I wake at 2am and feel very very anxious as if something terrible is going to happen.

I will be seeing my psychiatrist this friday, does any one know how I can convince him that 10mg sleeping tablets are not working and also do you know what is a good strong drug for anxiety.

A: I can help you get right to sleep. You dont need no meds for this either.

A: well perhaps the heat is getting to your brain out in the mid east, but if you are not willing to try anything except what y ou want then you will always be struggling. 25 y/o male living with parents? why? You are an adult how about act like one !!!! If you don’t have friends that is only your fault, you don’t even attempt to try. You want to be lazy and NOt work just because y ou have money. What a cop out! Many people with lots of money still work. How about pride in one self. IF you seem to have “fun” body building then do that more then two hours a day, not like you have anything else to do or that you will attempt to do. Everyone is in control of their own life and it is only what YOU make of it. Either get up and do something positive about it or quit bitching about wanting to die when you apparently have almost everything but even that isn’t enough cause here you are complaining.

A: Hey– I’ve been there. Your parents would cry every day for the rest of their lives.The people you know at the gym would miss you too! But most of all– what if there isn’t a heaven? And you stop this one chance, this amazing miracle of life you’ve got–you end it– and that was it? Here’s what I did when I felt bad– I thought of just one thing I like, or love. You love the gym. Think of something else you love–pancakes, green grass, kissing, anything. Imagine not having that? Are you curious about what the sunrise or sunset will look like tomorrow? Fight for your right to be happy, or fulfilled. Maybe you could work at the gym? I bet you’d be great at it! OR–maybe you should talk to your doctor and get on another medicine. I was on lithium once and it was the wrong thing and I felt so bad. Two days after I got off of it I felt like a different person– and was so scared that I might have killed myself! Things DO CHANGE. You know they do! You must be someone who knows endurance–use that! Be well and be with us. Trust me, we need you here.

A: aripiprazole- that is probably the problem. I use Prozac. I know People that used aripiprazole, and they ALL felt the way you do.
I am Also O.C.D. Get off the aripiprazole. and start realizing there is nothing wrong with being O.C.D., it’s just our way of becoming satisfied and happy.

A: I know how you feel. I was there and I’ve dealt wfriends that were in the same situation. Since you don’t want advice about getting a job or making friends the only advice I’m going to give you is spiritual advice. Maybe what you need is a relationship with God. That’s what helped me. I felt that I had no purpose in life and that there wasn’t anything worth living for. I started learning about God and what he asks of us. I am now very happy and doing God’s will. Maybe that’s what you need to get your head above water so to speak. Just a suggesstion but if you’re interested I know alot of people that would be willing to help you…..I can get people in your area too
