Of all the atypicals (risperdal, geodon, seroquel, zyprexa, abilify, clozapine), I prefer **low-dose** abilify.
What dose of Abilify do you take? Do you take it morning or night?
I have a new scrip for Abilify and am scared to try! The whole permanent tardive dyskinesia thing scares me!
I was prescribed 5mg tablets and my doc wants me to start with only 2.5mg.
Any advice or input on this med? I've never taken a med in this class. I'm trying it for low feelings of self, low grade depression, mild feeling of gloom and doom. I believe I'm also suffering from ADD symptoms, everything, even talking sometimes seems exhausting!
By the way, I am currently on no meds so I will be trying Abilify monotherapy. I just quit Cymbalta and after being off it for a couple of weeks am realizing how horrible it made me feel.
