> Thanks for your replies. So why the warning against Abilify?
It is a potent medication and I have seen it cause akathisia (an inner restlessness which is very bothersome) even at low doses in a lot of patients. It has a myriad of other s/effects throughout all systems of the body.
What's the deal with those types of meds?
They should be used for psychosis or Treatment resistant depressive or anxiety problems. Always last line here.
There are two types, generally
1. Neuroleptics- older....2. Atypicals- newer- I disagree with these medications being used as much as they are for non-psychotic problems. For example, instead of a benzo, many MD's would prescribe Zyprexa or Seroquel: not very smart I think.
What are the symptoms of psychosis?
Imaging that you are receiving messages from Mars, that you are in the birthplace of Christ.
Hearing things that are not actually happening....
......etc
Which one of the MAO's can you take and still be ok diet wise?None. Except the newer ones, although they have shown to be not as effective! The diet is really not so bad.........
