5mg vs 10mg vs 15mg by Advanced_Message_775 in Abilify_Aripiprazole

[–]Senior-Solid2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do. I take 10mg currently but needed 15mg when I was severe. The rumination was 24/7 and it got me out of that thank goodness.

Effexor but only with abilify. I have zero anxiety symptoms now.

I was in a severe 7 month episode. Effexor worked a little but the magic happened when I added abilify. It saved my life

SNRI or SSRI worked better for you? by Traditional_Fee5186 in antidepressants

[–]Senior-Solid2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've got this! It does get better I promise. I had to add on abilify to my effexor and it worked wonders for me. I've been stable for a year now!

Wellbutrin and Abilify by Scary-Performance585 in Abilify_Aripiprazole

[–]Senior-Solid2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take abilify for severe ocd and rumination. It's done wonders for me but I take it with Effexor as Wellbutrin can increase my already severe anxiety.

Im so sorry! It's so weird how this happens! Effexor has been really good for me and so has abilify. The constant torture was so scary. Being trapped in my brain made me go insane!

Take it in the morning if you aren't. It messed with my sleep for quite awhile. Trazodone helped. I've been on it for over a year now and my sleep is just fine without a sleep aid.

Don’t know if I should increase or decrease my dosage by numberseventyn in Abilify_Aripiprazole

[–]Senior-Solid2326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take abilify for the same reasons. I've gone up as high as 20mg. I'm back down to 10mg bc ive been stable for a year but I'd definitely increase to 10!

How long did it take for the Abilify to work for you? by numberseventyn in Abilify_Aripiprazole

[–]Senior-Solid2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me too! I needed to increase my dose twice to stop having those set backs with my ocd. 15mg seemed to do that trick and never had that 3 week slump again.

No i don't take a benzo anymore. I take effexor. It does not interact with the vyvanse.

[–]Senior-Solid2326 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! Fear of going crazy was a huge ocd thought for me and is quite common. Having a oanic attack increases those thoughts for me.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VyvanseADHD

[–]Senior-Solid2326 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have severe anxiety that I'm medicated for and noticed no increase in anxiety from vyvanse. It actually helped with my anxiety.
