I have been on Lamictal (400mg) since 2/08 and Abilify (5mg) since 8/10. I've been taking klonopin as needed since 6/09. Lamictal did not give me any side effects aside from fatigue, and that was solved by taking them before bed. Klonopin makes me kind of zoned out, but it's essential at times for my anxiety and paranoia. Abilify on the other hand DOES have side effects for me. The shakes (parkinsonian tremors), fatigued legs, and muscle cramps. We dropped my dose to 2 mg for a couple of weeks and the side effect stopped, but the paranoia got worse. So, I am back up to 5mg and the side effects are better for now. I have not noticed any hair loss or sexual side effects from any of my meds. Hope this helps.
