Hi, is there anyone that has had severe anxiety and benefited from Abilify while only taking an antidepressant and Abilify? My doctor told me one time that it's a potent anti-anxiety medication, but I'm pretty sure the first time we discussed it he said it wasn't effective for anxiety. I'm not sure what to believe any more.

I don't think they can keep their stories straight for very long. Has abilify been helpful to you at all?

never tried abilify ---he did not think it would help me and am diabetic so will not prescribe any atypicals due to possible raising blood sugar I respect that.....another pdoc said he thought they could help me...I told him I was diabetic and was afraid of blood sugar elevation.....he replied "you are already diabetic"....go figure

Different doctor, different story. Well, I hope we both find an answer for anxiety.

Abilify made my anxiety worse. I've heard that from others too.

worked great for my interpersonal and sexual-related anxieties, which were probably more obsessional.

It did that for me too. But gave me a giant woody on the dance floor. Embarasing.

Thanks everyone. I read about that dancing induced woody on the black box warning.
