I take lithium for mood stabilization, fluxpentixol for anxiety as well as quetiapine for both the mood stabilizing and anxiolytic effects.

Problem is that I experience major drowsiness on the quetiapine and it is sort of annoying.

I have tried Abilify before for mood stabilization after an episode that landed me in hospital. I need something for managing anxiety as well as my mood. How well, if anything, does Abilify help for anxiety?

Perhaps the first time I tried it I did not give it an efficient chance to work. There is the insurance issue, but that is not a battle for right now.

Also, what other antipsychotics have a decent ability to manage anxiety?

P.S. I know I am already on an AP for anxiety, but it is not sufficient on its own.
