i have been on Abilify for three weeks now, tapering off Sulpiride. i just feel so strange and anxious and tripped out - like i am about to come up on a bad acid trip. things look surreal and two-dimensional too. i had a glass of champagne last night and today i felt totally low, and still do, which is not common for me on such a small amount of drink. i am scared. i get panicky and wonder if i should switch back to Sulpiride which has kept me non-delusional for four years. But it has given me seriously elevated prolactin, i have gained a lot of weight and totally lost my sex drive.
i have a job for six months in Kenya starting end of September and I really need to be well for it. i am scared i will get psychotic out there. Is it advisable to give coffee up on it as well as alcohol?
Has anyone been on it for a while, a few months or more, and thinks its worth sticking with?
i would so appreciate any advice, suggestions or wise words as i feel so scared and depressed.
I am also on Carbamazepine 800mg and Lamictal 200mg.
thanks so much!
Lyn
