Studies have found that about 35% to 50% of people with untreated major depression experience some type of sexual dysfunction. I never had that problem when I took an occasional Adderall or Vyvanse to study. But I'm going on vacation in a few weeks and would hate to gain weight before then and have to be reminded when I look back at pictures. I remember abilify. If you're having any problems with them I'd contact the doctor ASAP. My mind wouldn't stay put on any one thing; it just jumped from place to place, and so did my body.
You could talk to your doctor or a therapist about this worry.
I took abilify for about a month before discontinuingWhen I took Wellbutrin my stomach was always in knots, is why I stopped. I'm looking for things to help with my present condition which I described above.Aripiprazole is effective for the treatment of acute manic episodes of bipolar disorder in adults, children, and adolescents.I've read that abilify is used as an adjunct in the treatment of depression with some small success. I ended up with serotonin withdrawals/ a trip to the ER and had to taper off Celexa longer. 1.
Started at 5 mg for four days, then at 10 mg from then on. This sub is not for venting or for facebook style posts.
I've been on it for a little over a week now, and the side effects are almost all gone. Whereas I am usually a very sociable and talkative person it is very difficult to communicate with people and think of things to say, are all these just symptomatic of major depression?you need prescription meds for bipolar.
Also doesn't potentially cause tardive dyskinesia and diabetes like Abilify can.But what may be even better yet is just to try a MAOI, Emsam is a good choice if dietary restrictions are a big bother to you. Although I am addicted to it; I can tell by what happens if I miss a day.Okay thanks.
I've been taking Celexa even longer.
Effexor's effect is much more noticeable.
Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts As of July 2017, NSI-189 has failed to meet effectiveness outcomes for depression in phase II trials . bipolar depression - posted in Mental Health: I recently recovered from a manic/psychotic episode (the first of my life) and now have slipped into a deep depression.
Still depressed, and suicidal for a long period for the first time in my life. My concern is weight gain though, because if I gain even 5 pounds it's going to make me more suicidal. There is a Black Box warning now for these newer anti-psychotics.
Abilify is usually used in conjunction with another drug, I think, but I have been off Paxil for 2 months now while staying on Ability.
I would be energized for about 20 minutes. It makes about as much sense as prescribing Ritalin for anxiety (i.e. I've decided not to try lamictal after reading some horrifying anecdotal accounts online.You live in India though?
I take it as well, and all it does is give me energy and at higher doses major anxiety/racing-thoughts, just like any stimulant would.
My anxiety skyrocketed the first few weeks, 3 weeks ago I got hit with a depressive episode.And here I am. Abilify has been about 6 years.Obviously people are different but I like Abilify a lot and Wellbutrin is ok.As for the weight gain worry, think of it as you want to get yourself feeling better mentally and perhaps weight gain will just be a byproduct. I feel if I were out of school (undergrad) they would have written me a script by now.New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be castPeer support for anyone struggling with depression, the mental illness.Looks like you're using new Reddit on an old browser. I take it at night and when I wake up I don't feel like crap. I know it'll be a low dose, I don't know how much exactly though.
I went off Wellbutrin earlier this year for the same reason (ran out) and I didn't notice a huge difference. I would be up for Adderall, and I think it would be the perfect combo with the Abilify. I didn't like it at first. Yet antidepressants may also impair sexual function. I started taking Celexa and took that for about a year.
