Hello all. I had to give up on the Nardil due to the side effects. Mainly the general stupidity and a feeling of detachment, it felt like I was on acid. Still much less benign than SSRIs and the diet was not that hard to adjust too.
I saw my Pdoc the other day and he decided to give an atypical anti-psychotic a try for my social anxiety (I guess because nothing else has worked).
I was wondering what the side effects starting this usually are. The first night I took it I woke up covered in sweat and feeling nauseous but it passed after a minute or two. Last night I woke up very early and could not go back to sleep. I am currently taking Xanax XR .5mg at night to help me sleep.
What has been your experience starting Abilify? Do the symptoms pass? I really hope this works.
Has anyone else taken Abilify as a mono therapy of social anxiety with any success?
Thanks!
-Dan
