I'm glad you both have had positive experiences with Abilify. I switched from Zyprexa to Abilify for six months and found I couldn't sleep and had anxiety problems. Seroquel and Restoril at night were added to my cocktail and that helped me sleep, but it also gave me a voracious appetite, so I didn't lose any weight while off the Zyprexa. I had Ativan for daytime anxiety problems. I've gone back to Zyprexa because I mentally feel so normal on it and can sleep through the night. Plus, I'm not putting out insurance copays for 4 drugs when one will do the trick. Funny how we all react differently to meds, isn't it?
