My pdoc put me on 2mg of Abilify and if needed increase to 5mg. I must say it worked great for my depression. However, I have been feeling weird as in needing to move and do stuff. I cannot sit and watch a movie like before as I can't focus because I have this need to get up. It is mild but bothersome enough to question continuing taking the medication. Neither Klonopin nor Xanax help. I have read that this is temporary and it would go away once your body gets used to the med. I have decreased the dose to 2mg every 2 to three days but the depression is coming back. I'm deathly afraid of akathisia as I've read it may never go away. To those of you who've taken it or are familiar with it, what do you think? I've been on it for about a month and other than the Akathisia and some minor visual disturbance, haven't experienced any other side effects except for insomnia which has always been a problem. Should I continue with it for another month and see if it goes away? I'm taking a risk of developing non remitting akathisia? Am I overeacting?
abilify 2mg
lexapro 20mg (every two to three days)
Xanax 1-2 as needed
Clonazepan 1-2 as needed
Deplin (when i remember)
Vyvanse 40mg
