> Hi,
> I recently was prescribed Abilify as an add-on treatment to Wellbutrin (SR 200mg twice a day). Were you ever able to find someone under the same course of treatment? If so, was it beneficial for them and at what dosage? Thanks!Hi,
Never heard from anyone else... My experience was that at 2.5 mg Abilify, I only slept like 4 hours a night, and experienced akathesia (sp?) - or restlessness... Had a strong tendency to stand up & walk or pace a bit, rather than stay seated.
When I went up to 5 mg (added to my 300 mg Wellbutrin XL) it knocked me out like a big sleeping pill. That seems to be my experience generally with antipsychotics (the sedative aspect, not the restlessness I initially experienced)... They make me sleep all day.
Hope that helps some.
If you think of it, I'd be interested to hear what your experience with this combo is, (doses & side effects. etc.) once you have a chance to see how you respond to it.
(However, I don't spend any time @ pb these days, so please use this thread, rather than start a new one)Thanks, and good luck to you ~
