In reply to From Zyprexa to Abilify - no problems so far, posted by kotsunega on June 9, 2003, at 16:22:34
Kotsunega,
There have been several discussions threads here about Abilify, such as:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20021127/msgs/129761.htmlI don't know what you are taking it for, but if it is for psychosis, you should probably watch carefully for any re-emergence of psychotic symptoms. You will note from reading the above thread that this is what happened to Deb (aka 1313). On the other hand, there have been several posts by others who have been very happy with Abilify.
Good luck! Please let us know how it works out.

> Has anyone else made a switch from zyprexa to abilify? Did you have any side effects? I've read here that lots of folks get nasty side effects from abilify, but so far, I haven't. My psydoc is weaning me off of zyprexa (going from 20 mg - to 15 mg - to 10 mg - to 5 mg) while increasing the mg of abilify. I am currently taking 10 mg zyprexa and 15 mg of abilify without having any side effects. I'm wondering if some of the abilify side effects will kick in once I am completely off the zyprexa. Anyone else doing this?
