The Abilify has taken away the hallucinations and Cogentin has stopped the shaking. Has anyone else gone through this? Do I just wait out the pain? Will it really end? Last time I had side effects this bad, it was tremors from Zoloft and lasted months.
Was just talking with pdoc about this because I had a bad cramp in my calf. What he told me was it was it happens when you start new meds and is excruciating and doesn't stop. Does not stop....so you should probably switch to another AP and hope for a better outcome.
