I cannot stand seroquel, i couldnt eat, couldnt wake up for more than a few hours, couldnt make it up the stairs in one go, was sick, missed nearly a week of my life!! Basically couldnt function. my pdoc is really for it though, because otherwise i barely sleep, i'm rarely depressed in the normal way, i'm either Manic, hypo manic (as i've now realised) normal, or Manically Depressed, at my worst, i'm still right up there but suicidal. Thats why he thinks its the best drug for me.
But i read about abilify and the reviews and everything and it sounds like it would be right for me.
Before i went on seroquel i had a bad feeling about it, i dont have that about, that in itself probably means it will work better if i feel more positive about it.
What dosage of citalopram are you on may i ask? i was on 20mg, for a week then 30mg, then 40mg then 80mg for the remaining 6 months. It didnt stop my anxiety thought, i had to have Buspirone for that, thinking about it actually i might go back on Buspirone.
