>hmm. I'm pretty sure that Adderall would make my somatic symptoms of anxiety worse. When I take pseudoephedrine I feel pretty antsy and anxious. When I take my asthma inhaler (albuterol) I feel also really antsy and anxious. But I've never taken a drug like Adderall.
Yes, a woman I used to work with came in one day shaking with a nasty hand tremor due to the salbutamol (tablets I think) she was prescribed for severe asthma. She said it reminded her of the speed she used to take in the 70's.
>I didn't realize that abilify was stimulating. that is unfortunate. perhaps I can use benedryl to fall asleep. I need anti-histamine often anyways (allergic to my cat).
It is for some people, but I've read of people taking it at night before bed which puzzles me given the severe insomnia it often causes. Maybe for some it is sedating? Sounds like you could use more input from other Abilify users. Blueberry has had success with Benadryl to help with insomnia during Zyprexa withdrawal so that sounds like a good idea along with a bit of Klonopin - Benadaryl is sedating but it's not very relaxing.
