In reply to Re: From Seroquel to Abilify for OCD/Bipolar, posted by Kimbersaur on July 30, 2006, at 0:57:51
I was just prescribed Abilify today as a matter of fact! I have OCD (I've had it since I was about 6 yrs. old... I am now 17 and in college.) and I have social anxiety disorder. I have tried EVERY SSRI (Effexor...etc) and NOTHING has helped. The side effects get to me and I hate being "wired". My doctor and I chose Abilify as a "2nd option".
I read up on it and after the first few weeks of insomnia everyone seems to respond positively. They reccommend you take it at night so you sleep better... it takes a while to absorb I suppose.
I was worried it would affect my schoolwork. I take the GRE (SATs for grad. school) in 2 weeks and I plan on being 2 weeks into the treatment. I will definitely keep you posted on how well I can concentrate and write and everything!! If you find out any new, important info. about side effects or anything.. keep me posted!! projektrara@hotmail.com
