I haven't posted here in some time. i have been trying to get a grip on things following a BPII diagnosis ... that was then changes to a Major Mood Disorder with depression and anxiety. I have been taking alpha and beta blockers (not at the same time) to help with the adrenaline surges at night which I have now stopped because my depression has gotten so deep. I have tried anti-depression meds and they made me immediately psychotic. Now my pdoc wants to try me on Abilify. I do not want to try this medication at all. I suffer from migraines with aura and was hoping he may suggest Lamictal as I found a study it helps with these types of migraines and depression (Although the thought of the rash terrifies me).
Anyone here have success with Depression and migraines with aura on Abilify ... and the weight gain is it avoidable? I am not prepared to put on any more weight as I am already in the "red" zone for type 2 diabetes. I am not signing up for that!!!
Appreciate the input.
