In reply to Abilify - do the side effects ever improve, posted by Enigma on September 22, 2007, at 6:59:01
Well, I tried Klonopin, 4mg (I used to take it to help me sleep and for anxiety and irritability), and actually slept that night!
I always also tired the entire next day, which doesn't happen to me on K-pin alone.
I lowered the dose to 2mg (I have 2mg tabs) and slept well again (I think), and was exhausted the next day again. I think mixing the two drugs is causing this.
I even fell asleep in my chair, at my pc, then had to go take a nap, even after 7 hours of sleep.I'll take the sleep over the insomnia any day, but this complete 180 is driving me nuts. I feel like a walking drug lab/guinea pig/etc. I went from not being able to sleep and not being able to nap, to having no energy and being exhausted.
Still have to see if I have any Seroquel, but I have a feeling the bottle is empty, and I'm not sure my pdoc will write me any. It's worth a shot I guess.
My mood had even gone downhill again, which is odd, as K-pin, if anything, usually made me feel a little better.
Oh well. I'll use up the last few days of 2mg Abilify, and move up to the 5mg tabs I have (which was the original plan). I owe a call to my doc anyway, but I hate calling him, as he's impossible to reach, and makes you feel like you are interrupting him from brain surgery. Then there's the part were he barely listens.. find another doctor you say? Don't even get me started...
