Ok - I tried taking the Cogentin with the Abilify at night before bed. It actually worked out pretty well. I don't think I can really take the Cogentin during the day though.
Now - the only outstanding issue is the irritability the Abilify gives me. I have energy, I am not hypomanic and I feel pretty good, BUT, I am bitchy.
My doc suggested adding a small dose of Depokote. Yikes! I'm afraid of getting superfat! I've just heard stories of people gaining weight on all these drugs.
What about a small dose of Risperdal? Is that any better? Or are they about the same for weight gain?
Will they help with the Abilify-induced irritability? Will they contribute to the akathesia?
