Caffienated
Has anybody ever been on Abilify? My doc might change me to it because the Seroquel isn't working anymore other then making me tired.


Yeah, I've been on Abilify and Seroquel. Abilify definately made me less sleepy than Seroquel! Good luck with it!

I'm currently on Abilify. It works pretty well.

Medications I've been on:

Ambein: Hallucinations
Effexor XR: Extreme anger management problems
Prozac: Same as above
Zoloft: Didn't eat I was so sick >.<
Geodon: Made me sleep 20,000 hours a day

I'm currently on Lamictal, Seroquil, Ambien and Prazaone. ^.^;;

If anyone has any questions about these medications feel free to ask.

I've been put on Zoloft. I'll post here after a while and tell you all how it's going. So far nothing, but you can't expect it to work right away.

Alright, I'm getting absolutely no effect on my mood so far, but all the side effects. Is this normal?!?

Useless information, but I have to post this. My mum was prescribed anti-depressents when she wasn't depressed because they are known to help pain. She stopped taking them, because she felt very depressed when she did. Odd. confused

I have literally run out of medications. Here's what I've taken, and the effects.

Wellbutrin- I went psychotic.
Prozac - I went psychotic.
Tegetrol - I think it messed with my liver. I was really young.
Depakote - It made me crash every time I had a good time.
Lithium - Didn't work, dose upped until overdose, wiped a good part of my memory.
Zyprexa - I was dazed all day, not good for someone who drives everywhere.
Geodon - Used once as a trank, same as Zyprexa.
Concerta - Worked slightly, insomnia, but the foam grossed me out.
Ritalin - Works very nicely.
Abilify - Gets me a stoned effect, but works slightly.

I guess I still have antiseizure drugs to take, but I don't have seizures. neutral

I can no longer take antipsychotics. I've been phobic of them since my ex told me to kill myself by taking 35 mg of Zyprexa.
((off topic)) hi hershey, i didnt know you belonged to this guild too((we are both in the bipolar guild))

((in topic))
i take
concerta for adhd

Interesting! Do you know what anti-depressants they were?

Amber Ocean
Ambein: Hallucinations


Were you taking Ambien FOR hallucinations, or did you get hallucinations on Ambien? I took Ambien for sleep problems caused by my other meds, and it seemed to cause more hallucinations, which makes me curious because my doctor swore it wouldn't make my hallucinations worse.

Wellbutrin- I went psychotic.


Wellbutrin made me more psychotic too. Yuk!

umms... I was on Concerta with Breakfast, Effexor with Lunch, Seroquel before I go to bed

Now I'm Concerta with Breakfast, Cipralex with Lunch, Risperdal before I go to bed

I must say, I'm quite enjoying the freedom of Cipralex. It really helps with the depresion, but it feels like it's helping in a nautral way (as apposed to a doped up way)

On Wednesday, when I went to my Doctor, he was saying we should start treating my OCD (which I never knew I had, maybe don't), and he told me "I just bought some stock in Risperdal, let's put you on that"
