In reply to maybe switch to seroquel?, posted by Christ_empowered on January 31, 2011, at 2:21:59
I've never tried seroquel, but abilify gave me horible TD, so bad I almost could not work.
You could always take cogentin for TD. I take it with the perphenazine, which give me a little TD. The cogentin takes it mostly away.
I think you could get away with taking abilify every other or third day. I did that and had better results at every third day. At a much smallar dose. Like 2mg. The half life of abilify is 3 days. Every time I stoped the abilify cold turky, I had horrible withdraws that lasted 3 times the time I took the abilify. Even though I went back on the zyprexa for this time.
I have to warn you that I had very bad results from abilify and do much better on zyprexa and perphenazine.
The withdraw from the abilify was like a realy bad return of psychosis and severe anxiety.
