Taking 300 mg Wellbutrin XL, and 2.5 mg Abilify for dysthymia.
Perviously, Wellbutrin + stimilants had been most effective combo for me. (already tried ssri's, maoi, remeron, tca's, etc.)
I have a bit of akathisia, but not too bad. Sleep is erratic - sleep a few hours, and nap briefly in the afternoon.
(this is after approx. 2 weeks on this combo)Went up to 5 mg Abilify for a couple of days, and slept most of the day...
Anyone else have experience w/this combo?
Are higher doses of abilify "ususally" more sedating?
If so, might I be better served to try 2.5 mg every other day, rather than doubling my dose to 5 mg per day?
(especially given the long half-life of abilify? -- i.e.: lower my dose rather than raise it?)Thanks for any feedback or insights.
