In reply to Re: ANYONE-Tips to preventNausea/Vomiting on Abilify??, posted by sonhasbp on June 20, 2005, at 15:24:28
After all the good suggestions for preventing nausea, I ended up doing the following (with approval from my pdoc): Last Wednesday, I started on half the dose my doctor initially started me on, which means I started with 1.25 mgs abilify instead of 2.5; I experienced very mild nausea and knawed on raw ginger once during the day to quell it, but otw, no other problems. AFter day 4, I increased my dose to 2 mgs and experienced no nausea. I will wait a few days and go up to the 2.5 mgs my pdoc initially recommended. So it seems to me very slow titration, (slower than normal) can really help the body adjust. I think abilify is helping me, and certainly, without all the side effects of vomiting, I'm much more likely to proceed and give it a fair trial. THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE FOR HELPING ME AND GIVING SUCH GREAT SUGGESTIONS - YOUR CARING MADE ME FEEL STRONGER AND ABLE TO TACKLE IT AND GIVE IT FAIR TRIAL.
